The Magic of Focusing on Interests: Our #1 Motivators
Manage episode 336213635 series 3213001
Interests are our #1 Motivators yet adults often used them as punishment. What do I mean by that? Have you ever heard a parent or teacher take away a child's interest until they improve in a school subject? For example,
- Memorize the math facts and you can go back to art classes.
- No dancing until your spelling improves.
- Bring your grades up if you want to play tennis.
But we never hear anything like, NO SPELLING until your dancing improves or You CAN'T DO MATH until tennis improves!
Mariaemma discusses how to use Interests, not only to boost motivation and self-confidence, but also to improve academic skills.
