What Motivates You (And Your Children)?

BaseCamp Live - A podcast by Davies Owens

In this installment of Basecamp Live, Davies Owens engages in a discussion with Jason Barney on the art of effective motivation, both for our children and ourselves. The conventional "carrot and stick" approach often falls short in reaching the hearts of students, leaving us to ponder whether there are better alternatives. Jason delves into the intricate relationship between our children's emotions and their drive, and how various motivational techniques can have a long-lasting impact, either positive or negative. He places emphasis on the crucial role that parents and educators play in setting an example for the children, highlighting that children tend to emulate what they see rather than what they're told. The interview explores ways of instilling a culture of learning and wisdom, rather than solely focusing on external rewards such as grades. Join us as we explore proven strategies for purposeful and deliberate motivation of our youth.
