Motivate Your Child to Learn

Some kids are self-motivated. And other kids are less motivated and need a little push here or a lot of prodding there. If you’re wondering how to motivate your child, you might automatically think of rewarding your child for every step he takes in the right direction, and applying negative consequences for steps he takes in the wrong direction. In reality, the best approach is to go easy on the rewards and punishments and cultivate his internal motivation—help him to tune into the feelings of accomplishment and the pride he feels for a job well done.

1. Set Goals: Have they set goals. Make a list of short-term goals and one of the long-term goals. Make sure the goals are reachable but require effort to obtain.

2. Make a Plan: In order to reach goals, you need a plan. Help your children create a strategy for reaching their goals. Make a step-by-step plan to reach them.

3. Celebrate Accomplishments: When your child accomplishes their goals, let them know that you are proud of them. Celebrate these things together. Reward your child for their hard work.

4. Make Things Competitive: Encourage healthy competition. Cheer on your child to beat another runner in a race or to take home the trophy from the spelling bee. Make competition about positivity and strength in regards to your child and never about negativity and weakness towards the competitor.

5. Encourage Them: Let your child know that you believe in them. Tell them how great they are going to do. Dismiss any self-doubt or fears they may have

6. Take Interest: Learn about your child’s interests. Talk to your child about them and listen. It will show your children that you care and that they are free to talk to you about their interests.

7. Discover Passion: Encourage your children to discover what they are passionate about. It may take a few tries along the way. Support them on their journey towards passion and urge them to keep going until they find out what it is.

Is there any difference between morning schools and day schools?

Quite a few proposals around improving performance the academic performance of students involve very costly interventions. Even though many of these surely come accurate on the cost-benefit tests, but they surely can be enormously challenging, both politically and economically, to ensure a successful functioning and implementation. A possible way involves changing the ways in which schools are conducted. For instance, in a recent policy proposal, Jacob and Rockoff suggest three low-cost ways to conduct schools that can ensure maximised student performance: i. clubbing elementary and middle schools into single buildings; ii. optimize teacher assignment; and iii. Starting the school in the later half of the day for middle and high school students. But more so than other, their third idea seems particularly actionable because it does not have the need of new buildings to be built, and the nature of teachers’ jobs would not significantly change. Schools that start elementary schools lat...
