Practices that may help
- The Power of Full Engagement, Made Practical
Loehr and Schwartz argue that performance depends on managing energy, not time: you have physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy, and the key is oscillating between full engagement and real recovery rather than pushing linearly. The four-dimensions model is a practitioner framework, but its building blocks — recovery, breaks, sleep, exercise, and meaning — each have their own real support. - Build the child’s inner wealth narrative over time
Consistently reflect back who the child is becoming, not just what they’re doing.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Manage emotional energy
Cultivate positive emotional states deliberately, since they fuel performance and connection.
The Power of Full Engagement, Made Practical - Recognize what is not happening with proactive recognition
Catch the child not misbehaving and name the success explicitly.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Connect to purpose (spiritual energy)
Anchor effort to values and meaning, the deepest and most renewable source of drive.
The Power of Full Engagement, Made Practical - Use special time to fill the connection cup before problems escalate

- Mastery Experiences As A Parent
Albert Bandura identified mastery experiences — successfully completing difficult tasks — as the most powerful source of self-efficacy. Unlike praise or encouragement, mastery experiences produce direct evidence of capability; the brain stores that evidence and draws on it under future challenge. The evidence across clinical, educational, and occupational research is strong.
