"We cannot become our child’s internal engine for motivation...but we can help them build it." – Lori Lane

In Part 2 of our self-motivation series, Lori and John Lane share practical, grace-filled strategies to help your children move from external reminders to internal ownership. Whether your child is three or seventeen, this episode provides age-specific tools to instill confidence, initiative, and personal responsibility.

The heart is where motivation starts—but systems are what keep it moving.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why young children need visible routines and walkthroughs
• How responsibility + feedback build confidence in 8–12 year-olds
• Why teens thrive with freedom + accountability
• How to help your kids self-evaluate their work biblically
• What scaffolding ownership looks like in a discipleship-based home

You’ll also hear personal stories from Lori and John—raising four boys, mentoring others, and watching the long-term fruit of gospel-centered, system-supported parenting.
