Description
CHORES...AHHHH! It has become such a bad word that kids are only motivated to do through incentives and money making. This is where I want to challenge you to make a mindset shift! Instead of chores being a bummer, what if we look at them as an opportunity!? An opportunity to grow confidence and self-esteem An opportunity to feel more independent An opportunity to learn life skills for your future An opportunity to develop good habits Gaining all of these things through this opportunity will allow you to live in a space that will make your mind happy. One thing we know is that our brain craves a clear space, but we have a hard time creating it!! Our struggle with executive function skills makes it tricky to get started, stay motivated, prioritize, organize, task switch, and simply finish the chore at hand! This is where we need a PLAN! Ask yourself, "what does my brain need to be successful!?" 1. BREAK chores down (Just like all other things...ONE step at a time and celebrate that success) 2. Embed motivational tools (music, a preferred task to look forward to, make it novel and fun) 3. Create a checklist or post-it system to stay on track (this is an added tip that is not included in this episode as I'm thinking about as I publish this ;) You will also hear from Tate, who is one of my coaching clients. He was so nervous, but "did something hard" and was so brave to share his "power of chore" experience with you all! I would love to hear from more of you too! Go to www.katelynmabry.com to get on my mailing list to recieve weekly episodes with added tips, and this is where you can email me with topic ideas, audio clips, and I would just love to hear how this podcast is helpful to you! Love and appreciate each and every one of you!!
