Sustaining Motivation – A Delicate Balance
Ever wonder about how to encourage and support your child’s motivation? Is there a possibility that your child will do her chores without nagging or his homework without needling? In this webinar we will explore the differences between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. We will discuss strategies for increasing intrinsic motivation and techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of the external reinforcers, such as praise, behavior charts, rewards and punishments that parents and teachers often utilize.
