Productivity and Parenting: Raising Intrinsically Motivated Children

Emotional Balance Sheet with Paul Fenner

Jul 18 2024 • 8 mins

When you think of the word productivity, what is your first thought?

Today, we're diving into a fascinating discussion on productivity, but not in the way you might expect.

Recently, I had a conversation with one of my clients about what it means to raise productive children and the challenges parents face in this endeavor. Whether you have one child or several, the struggle to balance keeping them active and not overwhelming them is a familiar one.

In this episode, I'll share my personal experiences with my four kids and the insights I've gathered from working with numerous families. We'll discuss the importance of helping our children find their intrinsic motivation and the potential pitfalls of over-scheduling.

As always, I'm eager to hear your thoughts and strategies on this topic. Let's get started!
