In part 2 with Dr. Richard Koestner, we discuss the concept of hyper-parenting, the pressures parents face regarding their children's achievements, and the importance of balancing autonomy and limit-setting in parenting. Dr. Koestner also explores how these principles apply to education, emphasizing the need for fostering autonomous motivation among students. The discussion further delves into the complexities of goal setting, the impact of external rewards on intrinsic motivation, and the role of autonomy in psychotherapy.
Dr. Koestner is a professor of Psychology at McGill University where he has conducted research on human motivation for 25 years.
