Top 5 Tips On Motivating Your Child To Do Well In School
4. Make school fun
Children often look at school and studies in general as dull, boring or simply as a chore that they need to do in life. Emma talks how you can convert this ideology by simply treating school and homework as fun activities rather than chores. “When I talk to my kids about school and homework in general, I try to show genuine interest in their activities and immerse myself in their worlds. Smile, laugh and show your true passion about learning rather than working when you talk to your kids about school”, said Emma. We have to agree with this tip. Don’t we all remember how much fun we had doing projects for the subjects we loved in school? Learn from this and motivate your children to perform well in school.
5. Let your kids focus on their strengths and talents
“If you have a fixed career path for your child in your mind, forget it. The key to motivating your children to give their best at school is allowing them to grow and develop as individuals rather than imposing your thoughts and ideology on them. Let them focus on what they are good at and what they love doing”, said Emma. She really does not worry about how her son Chris, 15 is doing in math because he loves to sing. “I don’t expect Chris to be a math wrangler as long as he keeps winning those awards at school competitions. I’m realistic about his forte”, beamed a proud Emma. What talent does your child have?
