What motivates your child?
In this world, parents will do everything for their child. Of course, their ultimate goal is to make their child happy.
However, there is no perfect world. Apparently, parents will have difficulty providing the needs of their child. To address their needs, parents should first identify their child's motivation.
In this article, I will present what motivates your child (Reversal Theory) so that it would help you design a plan to address your child's needs.
Reversal Theory
According to this theory, there are four domains of focus: each has two opposing motivational states.
The power of this theory lies in our ability to recognize the need for a state reversal and then to change our states to respond to our needs - and those of others.
