Motivate Your Teen

Wish you could figure out how to motivate your teen? Find out what works...and what doesn't!

And learn 5 things you can do to raise more driven, self-sufficient teens without the power struggles.

 

What you will learn in this episode:

Understanding Motivation

If you want to motivate your teen, you have to know what motivation is. Learn how motivation is created and how it helps people take consistent actions toward their objectives. By harnessing momentum, you can make tasks seem easier, stay motivated, and make significant progress toward your aspirations.

The Challenges of Motivating Teens

Here's the bad news: you can't really motivate someone else - especially a teen. But, you CAN help them learn to motivate themselves. Learn the most common mistakes parents mak when trying to motivate their teens and how you can avoid them. 

Simple Ways to Encourage Motivation

When your teen learns how to create motivation, they will naturally take more action. The better they get at creating motivation, the more self-sufficient and driven they will be. Try the 5 tips outlined in this episode to help your teen reach their full potential without bribing and threatening. 

"Instead of trying to get your teen to take actions that look like motivation, focus on creating an environment where they can actually learn how to create motivation for themselves."
