Episode Description

This informative, results-oriented webinar will first provide a brief overview of the major scientific explanations of motivation and why they don’t quite fit kids with ADHD. We’ll focus on the difference between extrinsic motivation (I want to do this because of what tangible rewards it will bring me) and intrinsic (I’m doing this because of how it makes me feel). Then, we’ll look at why it’s so challenging to light the fires of motivation under kids with ADHD (spoiler alert: it’s about their prediction of the outcome). Finally, we’ll look at a simple but effective formula that will get children, adolescents, and young adults with ADHD from “here to there” and feel really good about making the journey. If you’re tired of failed “carrot and stick” approaches, tune in to this very practical webinar.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The difference between “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” motivation
  • Several “expert” views of motivation
  • Why traditional interpretations of motivation miss the mark because they don’t factor in ADHD
  • What to say and what to do to get kids to identify barriers to motivation and overcome them
  • How parents and schools can work together to get kids to turn on, tune in and feel the joy of success
