Building Motivation That Lasts:

From "Do I Have To" to "I Want To"

26 May, TUE, 12 - 1 PM SGT

Why do some children stay curious and engaged, while others need constant reminders to get started or keep going?

Motivation is often seen as something we need to build, reward, or reinforce. But lasting motivation doesn’t come from pressure or external rewards; it grows from a child’s sense of agency, competence, and connection to what they are learning and doing.

From the early years through adolescence, children are developing their relationship with effort, challenge, and self-direction. Whether it’s completing a task, persisting through difficulty, or taking initiative, motivation is shaped over time through everyday interactions, expectations, and experiences.

Grounded in developmental insights, classroom experiences and relationship-centred learning, this session invites you to see motivation not as something to manage, but something to nurture over time.

Register now to discover how children move from “Do I have to” to “I want to.”

My main takeaway from the workshop is to try and get to the bottom of the needs of the child during a meltdown. I've also learned ways to get my children to tell me how they are feeling.

Multiple strategies were shared during the workshop with lots of discussions. I learn creative ways to teach my children how to solve their conflicts by themselves and encourage them to express their feeling.
