Nagging is a very easy habit to develop. But it rarely helps anyone. You get after your kid because the bedroom is still a mess even after you’ve asked them to clean it three time but this only frustrates the child, and soon you’re at each other’s throats. Everything would be so much easier if kids were self-motivated. But can you cultivate this, or is self-motivation something that a kid is simply born with? Fortunately, there’s a lot a parent can do to help a child learn to embrace a self-motivating mindset. It’s all about encouraging curiosity, persistence, and optimism and finding a new love for hobbies, school, sports, and work. This is what it takes.
