[Webinar] 26 May 2026

Dear EtonHouse Community,

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

When children feel a sense of agency and respect, they are more likely to engage, cooperate, and develop confidence in themselves and their relationships with others. Small shifts in how we respond, such as listening closely, offering alternatives, and involving them in the process, can make a meaningful difference in how they experience the world

In this upcoming lunchtime webinar, we invite you to join us in exploring these everyday moments and discover ways we can support our children together with greater understanding and intention.

Building Motivation That Lasts:
From “Do I Have To” to “I Want To”

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.
