About this episode
Do you know the four magic words to motivate your son?
These four words are powerful. These words might help your boy pay attention at school or cause him to clean his room.
Are you ready for the four words? They are:
“Here’s what’s at stake.”
You see, boys are motivated by challenges. And when they don’t know what’s at stake, it’s hard for them to stay focused.
Here’s an example. Maybe your son lacks motivation in his art class. If so, consider this– does he understand why learning about art is important?
Sometimes, the “what’s at stake” will be a natural consequence– and other times, you may have to create a consequence for your son. Either way, use the four magic words “here’s what’s at stake”-- and you just might see your son be motivated.
