The evolution from extrinsic motivation , the idea of receiving external rewards for our good actions and good behaviors, to intrinsic motivation , the idea of internally grasping the good emotions and feelings behind this same behavior, happens quietly during a child's life and even lasts into adulthood in certain situations.
Since it is difficult for a child to understand precisely why it is important to tidy up their play area, it is important to use concrete positive reinforcement when helping them accomplish tasks and achieve their goals.
Laurence Morency-Guay, professor of psychology and founder of the Parent qui apprendre platform, gives you all her advice to support your child in this transition towards intrinsic motivation.
