Dr. Koestner discusses the importance of autonomy in motivation, contrasting autonomous motivation with controlled motivation, and emphasizes the role of values in guiding personal interests. Dan and Dr. Koestner explore the complexities of autonomy, including the distinction between reactive and reflective autonomy, and offers insights into how parents and educators can support children's interests without imposing control.
