'Your child has the desire to build new skills and learn new tasks from day one — but motivation is something they need to learn. And you can impact the inner workings of their brain to help them do so. In this episode, early childhood experts Rachel Robertson and Claire Goss cover strategies for inspiring motivation and the foundational steps that will set your child on the right track for becoming a happy, successful, and motivated person. 1:46 - Learning motivation starts in early childhood. 4:37 - Claire says, everyone is born with the capacity to be a motivated person. And that means parents and caregivers can help build that capacity. 5:45 - You can’t make someone be motivated, but you can create conditions to help them develop motivation. Rachel goes through the ways we can nurture that in our children. 6:56 - Rachel addresses the misconception that kids need to be “bribed” to do something. 8:19 - There are two main types of motivation: approach motivation and avoidance motivation. Rachel explains how they work in our daily lives. 10:05 - Claire and Rachel talk strategies to build motivation in kids. 12:32 - Rachel explains “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” motivation and the differences, and how one can influence the other. 15:13 - It’s easy for parents to lean on external rewards to motivate kids, because they work. But the effect is brief, and it can backfire in the long run. 17:27 - If others put external rewards on a task, you can help reframe to make it more of a personal goal for your child. ********************************************************************* Be sure to subscribe for more child care content: https://bh.social/2SnpEkw Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/brighthorizons Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brighthorizons YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/brighthorizons Twitter - https://twitter.com/brighthorizons For more family solutions visit: https://bh.social/2YsQCdW'
