Description

So yesterday I was on Twitter and I came across a Tweet from Austen Allred, the CEO of Lambda School. Let me describe the Tweet to you.In the picture of the Tweet, there are two kids. One is in the background using a sponge to clean the shower, the other is in the foreground, elbow deep with a scrub, cleaning that toilet. And I mean this kid is really going for it, cleaning the toilet with purpose and honor.And the Tweet reads: “The kids are fighting over who gets to clean the toilet.”No freaking way I thought. This guy is claiming that he didn’t have to bribe or punish his kids into cleaning the toilet. I mean, I’d believe it if it was like making their bed, folding the laundry, or tidying up their toys… but the toilet? How is this possible?On today's episode, we explore how to intrinsically motivate your kids. Not through punishment or through bribes, but to get them to do things because they're proud to do it.Show notes:Proof showing my daughter scrubbing that toilet cleanThe Tweet that inspired this episodeThe Adventures of Tom SawyerThe Most Important Life Lesson from Tom SawyerThank you for joining me today on Dad Smarter Not Harder.I want your feedback, questions, anything really.
