Bribes don't work: How to motivate your kid instead

Do you have to repeat yourself 100 times to get your middle schooler to clean her room, or maybe do her homework? Have you ever worried about your kid's future because she just doesn't show any motivation? In this episode, Andee Martineau, mother of six, reformed yeller, bestselling author and founder of the Connect Parenting Method, is talking to me about why bribes and ultimatums don't work to get our kids to do what we want them to do, and how we can motivate them instead.
