How to Raise Kids Who Follow Through

Cara Tyrrell, M.Ed, Creator of The Collaborative Parenting Methodology
About this episode

Do you want your kids to do what they say they're going to do? And without nagging?


I share a personal story in this episode about the need as parents and caregivers to fuel the inner spark for kids to have their own motivation to do what they say they are going to do. Motivation to achieve must come from within and that starts from a young age. I also provide scripts you can use with your kids to help motivate them without nagging!
