How do you help a child develop more intrinsic motivation to learn or behave?
You can foster intrinsic motivation in a child by allowing them to have choices in what they learn and how they learn. Provide positive feedback regularly, and ensure they understand that mistakes are part of learning. Encourage curiosity and fuel their interests.
Is there a specific area or behavior you’re trying to motivate in your child?
Love this question, Riley! One cool, underrated app for parents and educators is Eyezy. While it’s often used for monitoring, its features let you understand what motivates your child online, spot their genuine interests, and guide positive behavior—without hovering. It’s a modern way to connect and encourage independence, making it easier to foster real, self-driven motivation.
