Introduction
Kids are great, but they can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to motivating them. I’ve got two kids myself, and I’ve learned a thing or two about how to get them excited about school. The trick is making sure you’re setting them up for success in the first place. Here are some tips that have worked for me:Make it a family affair.
- Make it a family affair.
- Parents should be involved in their children’s education, especially if they want their kids to succeed. They should make sure that the homework is done and encourage them when they’re doing well.
- It’s also important for parents to be involved in school activities–it helps build confidence and shows that you care about what your child is learning at school.
- If you have younger children, try taking them along on errands so that they can see how adults interact with others and learn how society works outside of the classroom setting (for example: “Mommy went shopping today!”).
Reward your child for a job well done.
Reward your child for a job well done. It’s important to reward effort, not just results. If you’re going to be giving out rewards, try to make them something that your child really wants and can enjoy together as a family.Create a positive learning environment.
The first step in motivating your child to succeed in school is creating a positive learning environment. It’s important that you make sure your child feels safe and comfortable, as well as has all of the necessary materials needed to learn. Here are some things you can do:- Clean up clutter from around the house so there are no distractions or stressors for your child when it comes time for homework or studying.
- Make sure their room is quiet and free of noise pollution (phones ringing, TV blaring). If they don’t have enough space in their own room, consider buying them a soundproofed booth or using earplugs if necessary!
