How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Unmotivated Children!!!

26 min • 6 december 2023

Is it our responsibility to push our children so they achieve what they are capable of? Goodness knows where they'd end up if we didn't?!! I'll share why I think this approach is flawed and might actually back-fire. I'll also share what we should be doing instead.


Here are the highlights:

(2:20) Mistakes and failure 

(4:45) Two types of motivation

(7:15) Three parental choices

(9:50) Setting standards and expectations

(14:00) Remember growth mindset

(17:45) Mastery goals matter, not performance goals

(20:35) Give children a sense of autonomy

(23:15) Challenge them just enough
