Book Review: Motivated your Child


Motivate your child by Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller is a parent’s guide for how to get kids to motivate themselves.  Their solution is to teach kids to not look at each situation and what they can get out of it (reward or lack of punishment) but to develop a world outlook on how their actions affect others and then even God’s kingdom. 

I really enjoyed this book.  It has a lot of applicable advice and suggestions on how to talk to your kids and how to get out of the routine of punishment and rewards.  I plan on having my husband reading this book and then us using these tactics to better help our children grow into well behaved, motivated adults.

I would recommend this book to any parent with kids.  Any age.  Any situation.  This book helps kids become aware of their part in the world.  It teaches them to think like an adult in their actions.  This book does have a faith based application in it which I also really enjoy. 

Note: I was given a copy of this book to read and review.  The opinions said above are my own and I was not compensated for positive review.
