A conversation about motivating kids, including the reasons behind their lack of motivation, the impact of technology, and the importance of examining our own fears as parents. They discuss the challenges of motivating unmotivated children, the lack of motivation among kids due to comfortable lives and easy access to entertainment, and the role of expectations and external pressures. They emphasize the importance of patience, trust, and personal growth in dealing with unmotivated children. They also talk about nurturing children's true selves and accepting different values.

In this episode my friend, colleague and occasional co-host Laura Froyen and I answer your parenting questions but we have another person with us, Jen, who brings her incredible skillset of incorporating AI into the mix. Hear how ChatGPT answers the same questions after we go first.  DISCLAIMER: AI can be a helpful parenting ally, offering insights, information, and suggestions across various parenting topics. Yet, it lacks emotional understanding and the context of your family's unique dynamics. So, while AI can assist, remember to rely on your instincts and consider your child's individual needs when making parenting choices.
