This book is a summary of my life’s work on motivating kids
Parents are very important agents of their children’s identity. To support their kids’ development, they need to be able to support themselves and have basic motivation skills. Parenting requires high emotional intelligence, which is the key to success in life.
In my parenting classes, 100% of the participants want their kids to have love, success, friendships, confidence and happiness. Like those parents, you need the formula to help your kids get these things.
In this book, I share with you all there is to know about what motivates your child. This ultimate guide to motivation is based on 28 years of education experience and practical work around the world with parents, teachers and kids of all ages. I have perfected this toolkit over the years by researching its effectiveness with parents, kids and readers. I am happy and delighted to share them with you as well.
Happy parents raise happy kids and you are the best person to be your child’s motivator.
