• #342 Teaching Responsibility Without an Allowance

  What if raising hard-working, responsible kids had nothing to do with money — and everything to do with habits, purpose, and family culture?In this coaching conversation with a homeschool mom, we dive into how to teach children to be good humans, contribute to the home, and build real-life skills without paying them for every task. Instead of rewards and bribes, I introduce the power of Happy Habits — simple, consistent practices that shift responsibility, ownership, and self-motivation from the outside in.If you’ve ever wondered how to motivate without micromanaging — this one is for you.
