Are you feeling overwhelmed by the daily challenges of raising a neurodivergent child? Do you worry about how to motivate your kid and help them succeed, or perhaps you’re frustrated with the constant misunderstandings surrounding their unique needs? You are not alone, and there is hope.

In this episode of Beautifully Complex, Dr. Wendy Grolnick and I dive into some myths about motivation that society often perpetuates.

We discuss:
  • The essential differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and why understanding this is crucial for your child’s growth.
  • How to create an environment that fosters true motivation by addressing the three core needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
  • The detrimental effects of pressure and rewards on motivation, especially for neurodivergent kids.
  • Practical, step-by-step strategies to build a neuro-affirming environment that empowers your child to thrive.
Tune in for practical advice, emotionally supportive guidance, and scientifically-backed strategies designed to make everyday life a little easier for you and your kid. Listen now to unlock the secrets to understanding and nurturing your child’s motivation, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
