Six Principles to Motivate Your Child to do Well in School

Many parents worry about how to motivate their child to do well in school. Below, we have six principles that parents could use to motivate their children to do well in school. These principles come from research at the University of Illinois Center for Parent-Child Studies as well as research of other investigators.

1. Ability is Malleable. Although it may be difficult to transform a child with constant problems in school into the top child in the class, children’s ability can be improved.
2. Your Involvement Matters. One of the most important things you can do as a parent is become involved in his academic life—talk to your child about what he is learning.
3. Be Autonomy Supportive. Getting involved in your child’s schooling is the first step to motivating your child in school. There is much evidence that the key to motivating children is allowing them to feel that they are in charge of their lives.
4. Keep it Positive. All too often homework is frustrating for children, even for those who do quite well in school. Keeping your interactions with your child around homework positive is key in motivating him in school.
5. Provide Corrective Feedback. Our research suggests that mistakes need to be pointed out to help children so that they do not make mistakes in the future.
6. Every Child Is Different. Get to know your child. Being sensitive to your child’s own idiosyncrasies are key to implementing the suggestions provided here.

- above statement is true. we should be more pragmatic in handling our children. let's not set too much expectation so that they won't be boxed in.

Children do things that pleases other people for them to be acknowledged. So praising them for a job well done or for their good deeds would shape out their behavior and motivate them to always do good things...

Rewards after school! If they do get good grades and behave in school they'll get to ask to buy the things they want!

The first step towards motivating your kid to achieve good things in life is to know and understand his or her mind. To know the mindset, you may also need to learn to listen to your kid, what he or she says and comprehends, and how they work and act. You will also need to learn how to spend quality time with your kids to know their likes, preferences and dislikes. and i bet its a better way to motivate your child. :)

NEVER compare your children. They are all different and each will have something different and GREAT about them. When they accomplish something focus on that child and praise them. If they are sharing something with you it is because they want your attention and approval. A great way to demonstrate praise can be doing something special for them because they reached their monthly goals. :)

I believe the best way to start off is by leading by example. You cannot ask your children to do "the impossible" unless you plan on doing "the impossible". Show your children that it CAN be done. Especially when it comes to focusing on your children. Make it a point to be there for all of the important things in their life. try this.

There are several strategies parents can use to help children remain more fully intrinsically motivated.

* Provide an environment (through age appropriate toys, activities, etc.) that allows children to freely explore and to see the effect of their actions (i.e., toys that have visible or tangible changes when moved).
* Allow children ample time when working to allow for persistence. When children are deeply involved with an activity, make sure that they can finish without interruption. Resist the natural urge to "help," and let the child know if, for example, we have to go to the grocery store in a few minutes.
* Respond to children's needs in a consistent, predictable manner, but allow them to be as independent as possible. This does NOT mean ceding all control to your child. All children need clearly defined limits. Playtime, however, need not be structured and organized. Let your kid be a kid!
* Provide many opportunities for children and adults to explore together and interact directly. It is important for both children and adults to be working together on an activity. This lets you observe, model, and encourage your child.
* Provide situations that give children an acceptable challenge. Activities that are slightly difficult for the child will be more motivating and provide for stronger feelings of success when accomplished. This may take some trial and error at first.
* Give children opportunities to evaluate their own accomplishments. Rather than stating that you think they have done a good job, ask them what they think of their work. You'll never go wrong by asking the question, "What do YOU think?"
* Do not use excessive rewards. They tend to undermine children's ability to value themselves. Praise and rewards should be based upon children's effort and persistence, rather than on the actual accomplishment.

this is what ive rean in an Article, we should practice these tips who knows theyll be motivated by this. "_"
