Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 332: How to Rekindle Your Child’s Motivation, with Dr. Ellen Braaten · 27 Jun 2023 podcast

If we've got too much in our calendar, we don't have time to be in that sweet spot.

And so I think those are other things that get in the way of being in that flow.

You're getting it perfectly correctly.

Yes, that's what we exactly want to do.

Kids need time to be able to do that.

And that's where it takes time for us to find the things that we love.

Oftentimes in the course of a life, again, sort of bringing it back to you, we lose that, you know, when was the last time you felt happiest as a parent?

Now apply that to your child.

Like for me, I love writing.

I don't always have the time that I want to do that.

But when I keep that in mind, it's like, okay, I've got to build that time for doing nothing, not just to say, oh, I'm gonna sit down, but I've got to build time into thinking about that.

So if you've got a child who's creative, if you've got a child who loves music or something, you've got to build that time in.

You've also got to build in time for kids to putz around.

to find what it is that they would like to do in order to reach that flow.

Yeah, first of all, I'm so glad you brought this up because my when I was writing the book, my editor was like, Oh, do we need temperament again?

Because in a lot of psychology books, it's part of child development, but we don't really use it as a way of describing kids as they grow.

So temperament is really that general behavioral style that it's the way we react to and express and regulate our emotions.

And we talk a lot about temperament.

When we have a baby, is or do they have an easy temperament or a less easy temperament?

Is it the kind of child who's crying all the time, colicky?
