Your lesson made me rethink the whole way I’ve acted as her mom! So I’ve really tried to take a step back recently and be a little more “chill” with her.

This class has changed my crazy mother heart and mind, to be what and where it needs to be. I simple asked the 3 questions and reacted with love and the ability to let go of any outcomes I was wanting. My son felt empowered to think and recognized what he did do well. He was able to come to all the conclusions I had wanted to tell him, on his own! So big thanks for helping me and in turn helping my children.

The Secret to getting your kids to…
How Do I Get My Kid To . . .? If you’re asking this question, welcome to the club of good parents. Good parents need their kids to do things. We have a household to run, their futures to prepare for, and we need some cooperation. It’s normal, whether your kid is 2, 10, or 17.
So how do we do it? Using force as a way of life isn’t going to work in the long run.
We need a better plan. Here’s our game plan based on motivation research and 35 years of personal experience.
- Get Clear (on what we what and why with the ”One Liner” and the “Dance”)
- Stand Strong As Parent (learn 3 new skills)
- Build motivation (understanding the “Secret Sauce” of Competence, Autonomy, and Connection)
It’s frustrating that we didn’t learn how to do this growing up. But we can still learn now and teach our kids. If you feel like you’ll go crazy if you don’t get some help and cooperation around here, then take a deep breath. We teach a 12 steps process to get you through this.
None of us knew parenting was going to be this hard when we first had kids. We’re all after the same things. We love our kids. We want to live together in a fun peaceful household. We want them to be prepared for whatever future they choose when they leave home. And we want to have good relationships with them not just now, but forever.
When we learn principles and tools behind motivation, we can stay calm in the middle of a tough conversation because we have options. No change happens overnight, but when we have options, things go better. When we have options, we stay calm and our kids are more likely to do what we need them to do. They feel loved and respected. These steps work. They are based on principles and tools from positive psychology and motivation research.
