0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.3	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Pressman and I have one of my favorite colleagues
0:15.6	on today. She has been on the podcast before. Dr. Lisa DeMore, she has a phenomenal column in the
0:23.4	New York Times about teenagers. She's a contributor to CBS News. She works and collaborates with
0:30.0	UNICEF. She has two of the most wonderful books on teenagers of all time. One is Untangled Guiding
0:39.2	Teenage Girls through the seven transitions into adulthood and under pressure confronting the
0:45.0	epidemic of stress and anxiety in girls. Today, Lisa and I are talking about motivation, the
0:51.6	misconceptions and judgment in extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and supporting kids as they
0:59.6	start the new school year with homework, motivation, understanding grades, understanding academic

1:14.7	I'm so happy to have her. And of course, if you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making
1:21.1	this episode and having this conversation, please don't hesitate to write a little review on Apple
1:26.6	podcasts. It always helps get more out there. And of course, if you haven't already, subscribe and
1:33.9	check out my bulletin, Dr. Alisa.billatin.com. And please don't hesitate to DM me follow up questions
1:41.2	on my Instagram at Raising Good Humans podcast. And of course, in the show notes, I will also have a
1:47.4	link to Dr. Demore's podcast, her books, her article, and her resources. So we're going to talk
1:55.2	about motivation. And we're going to stop making it a binary intrinsic motivation is what we're
2:01.9	looking for at all times. Extrinsic is a no-no. And I am so beyond excited to talk to you about this
2:09.1	because it actually infiltrates everything else, emotional, behavioral, like conversations around
2:15.1	parenting. But let's stick with motivation and school. And it goes back to everybody's stopping
2:21.1	so extreme. It's such a good point. And then if we can talk about this, maybe then we can go into
2:28.3	the next steps, which is being more strategic about it, because it's just not always one or the other.
