Extrinsic🏅vs. Intrinsic Motivation
Motivation is not easy, especially when you’re trying to motivate others! Rewards are an easy way to get children to do a task you want them to do. However, there’s a flip side 🤔
Researchers have found that self motivated kids are typically fulfilled and happier than those who depend on external motivation and giving children rewards reduces intrinsic motivation, even for tasks that are usually interesting and fun to do 🙌🏼

So how can we motivate our kids the right way?

Here are a few tips to nurture a child's intrinsic motivation:

1. Show them how FUN and rewarding it is to learn & grow! Model your love of learning daily.

2. Give children plenty of opportunities to lead and self-direct their play.

3. Have them set goals for themselves! Start small!

4. Give acknowledgement and encouragement so that children own their efforts and accomplishments. "You did that yourself, you must be proud" rather than just saying "good job".

5. If their plan doesn’t work out, encourage them to do better next time. Remind them that failure is just a chance to learn!
