RE: Motivational Interviewing - How to Motivate Yourself to Do More and Be More
Eureka! I think you may be on to something. I have little girls who would rather fight with me than get motivated to do the things they should be doing. I am DEFINITELY going to try this when they are struggling with completing homework, headed out to an activity, or study for that test.
I only fear they will say 0 out of 10 and wonder how I will handle that. Why not negative 1?
I also had this light bulb reaction to this technique! Please let me know how it works out for you, I'd love to hear your results with it!
Yeah I could see how that would throw a wrench in it. I don't think they could really say 0 unless they weren't being forthcoming with you and with themselves. Nobody cares 0 about anything going on their life. Maybe the question can somehow be phrased in a way that doesn't allow 0 to be an option. I'll think on it!
Lol, now that would be a problem, well incase they say that please let us know how the -1 technique works out
