In this episode of Academic Coaching for Parents, host Dr. Anna York-Weaving dives into one of the most common challenges parents face: how to motivate their children to study. Whether your child seems uninterested, distracted, or overwhelmed by schoolwork, this episode provides practical strategies to help them build lasting academic motivation.

I explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, why intrinsic motivation leads to deeper learning and long-term success, and how you can cultivate it in your child. I also share actionable tips such as setting long-term goals, fostering curiosity, encouraging a growth mindset and the importance of self-reflection and feedback.

By understanding the principles of Self-Determination Theory and offering support during academic struggles, parents can guide their children toward success in a way that builds their internal drive for learning. Tune in for a wealth of insights to help your child thrive in their academic journey through the power of academic coaching!
