My Child is Lazy and Unmotivated - 4 Principles to Bring Out the Best in Them | Ep. #21

Be version 2.0 of yourself – Personal development and self-help tips

What can I do as a parent if my child is lazy and unmotivated?

First of all, I need to pat myself on the back because I am already taking some action to improve that.

As a life coach and parent myself, I’ve seen four things work very well for motivating children.

Number one is putting them through difficult situations.

Many kids today don’t have enough challenges in their lives.

That’s why they are soft and unmotivated.

But we can make them tougher and more self-reliant by exposing them to hardships.

Number two is making them try new things all the time.

This is something that Tim Ferriss cites as a major reason for his success in life.

His mother developed his curiosity by exposing him to all sorts of new activities.

That’s why he is so curious about life and keeps testing new things so that he can teach other people to live better lives.

Number three is making kids feel a little bit scared occasionally.

It doesn’t mean that you have to put on a vampire mask and scare the hell out of them in the middle of the night.

You need to expose them to experiences that feel a little scary.

Like the one time when I sent my 9-year-old son to ride a bike to a store by himself.

After they face this fear, they are never the same.

They grow bigger and see their potential.

Number four is lavishing kids with responsibility.

Kids love responsibility because it helps them feel significant.

So we can frame tasks in a way that makes them proudly responsible.

And they own that task and usually crush it.
