Yes, more please, Mr. Alfie Kohn:

From The Schools Our Children Deserve:

“[It's impossible] to motivate someone else, such as your child.  The truth is that doing so is impossible, unnecessary, and undesirable…First, while you can often make someone else do something–in effect buying a behavior with a bribe or a threat–you can never make him or her want to do something, which is what ‘motivation’ means.

The best you can do is create the kind of setting and offer the kind of tasks that will tap and nourish people’s own motivation.”

Buy this very, very good book here if you have children or teach them.
