Talking About Mental Health:  Intrinsic Motivation April 2021

This month’s Umbrella Theme is Intrinsic Motivation.  So what is that? It is when we can do something, enjoy something, complete something – and feel good about ourselves and our accomplishments. It’s about not needing anything external to make you feel better – grades, rewards, incentives, etc.  We want our kids to WANT to do well because it feels good not because it is a competition or there is a reward.  Don’t get me wrong – there are times for rewards and competitions for sure! But this month we want to focus on the ways we can foster that sense of internal satisfaction, accomplishment and motivation.
