Eps 297: Solo Show- Thoughts On Motivating Adolescents
Episode 297
This week’s show is a solo show with your host, Casey O’Roarty.
This week I dig into motivation and teens. Sometimes it feels like nobody wants to help around the house, do their homework or clean their room. I know, I’ve been there! We work and work on our relationship with our kids- it’s ongoing. It’s a practice of connecting, creating and tweaking agreements, problem solving, checking in, and finding solutions.
How do we motivate our teens?
Community is everything!
