Consider us your personal mental health bodyguard, armed with cool studies, a touch of humor, and an abundance of scientific knowledge. We're here to keep you informed, empowered, and primed for a fulfilling day ahead.

Here’s what’s on our minds today:

• A study linked greater happiness and self-esteem to intrinsic motivation for both kids and adults alike.

• Speaking of intrinsic motivation… psst… it can help you get the kids to do the chores, like seriously!

• A handful of useful affirmations about being intrinsically motivated

When aiming to help your children enhance their self-image and increase self-esteem, make sure their affirmations of self-worth are affirming the intrinsic aspects that can hold true in any circumstance with any external outcome.

Remember when you were a kid and learning was just a fun game? Well, turns out that's the key to staying motivated and engaged throughout life!

🧠 A study on intrinsic motivation found that when we're genuinely interested and eager to learn, we're more likely to retain information and grow as individuals.🧠

❤️ So, let's all channel our inner child and approach life with curiosity and enthusiasm – our brains (and hearts) will thank us for it! ❤️

CHORES & CHILDREN: INTRINSIC MOTIVATION TO THE RESCUE!

Traditional methods of teaching chores through rewards and punishments have proven to be ineffective. Psychologists started recommending the use of "natural consequences" where children would experience the direct outcomes of not completing chores. However, this approach also failed as children didn't seem to care enough about the consequences. SO, WHAT TO DO NOW???

Here’s the newest gossip:

1. Observations of indigenous cultures in Central America revealed that children learned and enjoyed doing chores because their mothers did the chores alongside them from an early age.

2. Children naturally desire to imitate their parents and be near them at around 2 years old.

3. In many cultures, parents utilize this desire to imitate by involving children in chores and tasks.

4. Instead of redirecting or suppressing the child's desire to help, parents should give them a turn with the chore or provide them with their own tools to participate.

5. Making chores a family affair teaches cooperation, empathy, and family values.

6. The key to teaching children to do chores is to do chores with them or have them do chores with you.

7. There is no need for rewards, schedules, or lists. Children learn by imitating their parents and the reward is the intrinsic satisfaction of being with their parents and contributing to the family.

8. Parenting is not just about raising children; it is a process of teaching and guiding them. One of the essential aspects of parenting is discovering methods to foster intrinsic motivation in children.

HERE ARE SOME AFFIRMATIONS TO GET YOU THROUGH TODAY!
