Why aren’t many of our children inspired to succeed in school? It should be in their best interests for them to succeed. Why don’t they care as much as we do about their success?

The issue is that school is a part of life that requires effort and discipline. The key to motivating children is to teach them to learn and respect these qualities in themselves. You can do this through leading by example and other teaching methods.

Your youngster must understand the significance of performing well on their own. You cannot impose motivation upon kids, but you can create an environment that helps them find it.

So let’s run through this brief guide that makes motivating children excel simple.

Positivity Is Crucial

Maintain a respectful, open, and positive relationship with the child in question. Remind yourself that you are on the same team as this child. This will enable you to exert influence, which is essential when dealing with smart children.

Lecturing, punishment, and threatening won’t do much. All it will do is harm the motivation and connection you are trying to achieve. Impatience, anxiety, and dread are reasonable and natural emotions. However, reacting to children based on these feelings is useless and makes matters worse.

Create Structure and Routine

You have the right to intervene if a child you are responsible for is not studying well, and their grades are declining. And this is whether they want you there or not.

You’re not there to perform their work for them. Instead, you’re there to assist them in establishing the framework, so they have confidence in tackling their work alone.

Schedule regular study hours and consider having the computer out in a public location where you can keep an eye on them. It’s a good idea to ban video games and Youtube during study hours.

You could allow them to play games or watch cartoons for a set time afterward. This is a form of motivation and reward for the child.

Determine a reasonable number of hours each week for studying. And ensure there are no distractions for the child. You could even make it a rule that he must complete study time by reviewing their work with you.

Break School Work Into Manageable Chunks

If the child you are dealing with finds completing assignments daunting and too much to handle, break them up. Breaking up the work into manageable chunks can be an excellent motivator for kids.

You can offer small rewards once they completed a small task. Then once they’ve had their little break time and reward, move on to the next section. Repeat this until they complete their assignment.

It may take more effort on your part to do this. But, over time, you’ll slowly develop the child’s capacity to cope with the school work. Sometimes some of the most studios kids need this type of motivation for them to achieve their potential. They just need a bit of smart parenting to help them along.

Motivating Children the Right Way

Positivity and routine are vital factors to consider when you want to motivate children. We all know how children can become distracted and bored, so we have to work with this mentality the best we can. Follow some of the advice we’ve given in this post, and you’ll start a pathway to success in motivating children.

Eli Marcus

I arrived to a packed lecture room at a Library in South Florida. This lecture caught my eye weeks prior and I made sure to have it in my calendar. After all, how many more times will I get a chance to hear a 99 year old survivor tell his remarkable story of inconceivable hell, survival and ultimately impressive success? What I heard in the room that day was hard to fathom it wasn’t part of a Spielberg movie with some creative liberty thrown in to embellish an already unbelievable true story. This was the real deal. A vivid description of hell on earth. What I couldn’t understand is how did this survivor go on to create a vibrant family and a very successful business career and not be bitter every day of his life? Equally remarkable is how someone his age could tell a story from 85 years ago as if it happened yesterday and with energy and charisma of someone half his age. He spoke for 45 minutes without a break. Little did anyone in the audience know that, just prior to arriving at the Library, he fell and injured himself, making his perseverance in even making it to the Library even more heroic. This is no ordinary man. I approached the stage after the lecture, patiently awaited my turn to speak with him and asked if I could interview him for my podcast. I am pretty sure he knew little to nothing of what a podcast was, but he agreed as you are about to learn why telling his story over and over is his divine mission.

Eli Marcus and Sam Ron

Sam Ron bears personal witness to the greatest atrocity in human history. He is one of the only remaining Holocaust Survivors his age who survived four concentration camps…and a Death March. He turns 99 in July. His story is remarkable…and he himself is equally as remarkable.

-When did Sam first realize that the Germans were not just transporting Jews to what they disguised as labor camps, but were actually killing them.

-How many times was Sam transported in cattle cars and what was that like

-Which concentration camps was Sam in & what were they like

-What was life like in the concentration camps and why did they move Sam around to different camps

-What is a Death March, why and how did that happen and how did Sam survive it

-What lessons should listeners take away from Sam’s experience
