Are the kids in your life demotivated? Is there a lack of enthusiasm in the tasks you give them? Today, Lauren discusses what causes demotivation and how to combat it. 

She talks about the causes of demotivation which can include poor nutrition, drugs, stress, biology, and thinking the task is irrelevant. She talks about tips and tricks to engage kids in their work and help them learn more effectively.  

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode:  How do I get my child to follow through on my requests to clean up after himself, tend to his studies, etc? 

Try-at-home tip: Get out into nature every single day.
