How to motivate your child?

We all know the saying that we are what our children see of us, that we are what they look for in their friends. But is this statement true? Do you realize who your children are and why they see you as their role model? Are you teaching them life skills or simply giving them what they want to learn about themselves? The most critical part of inspiring children is understanding how motivating them to succeed in school or a classroom environment is challenging, balancing issues in an area they are interested in. To understand motivation, it helps first to explore some introductory psychology.

Some things to keep in mind when trying to teach your child motivation will be:

1. They need to feel seen

You cannot give them something and expect them to love it. They need to feel like you value what they can contribute to life and that you want to help them achieve. You don’t have to give them a million dollars. Give them five hundred dollars a month if you have the extra cash. Put them on team sports if you think that can get them to participate in a team event. If you don’t have a lot of funds, put them on whatever activities are available in the community to make sure you get them involved to keep them focused. As a parent, you need to remember that the children can’t see your face all day long, so do not take too much out of them to look good.

2. Have empathy for others for the simple reason of self-esteem. 

When I was a girl, I always felt I must act “cool.” Even though I was never cool, to begin with, the desire to belong and be accepted by others was a massive thing in my mind (and I didn’t have any friends). I tried to fit into the category of what they expected from me, and it made me miserable. Because I wanted to have them, I wanted to be accepted. My only goal in life has been to become as successful as anyone else and be happy. Not everyone can be famous, but everyone can be successful. And while there is no such thing as perfection, there is something to improve on every day, whether that is improving a relationship, creating a new hobby, taking on a project, going through hard times, or just getting out of bed in the morning. It isn’t even one person, but everyone can become better each day. I am happier now than ever. After becoming successful, I had to start doing less to keep myself motivated because I couldn’t be content with someone sitting on top of me telling me every little thing. My husband puts his hands around my shoulders and says, ‘I feel sorry for you, honey. You deserve more.’ That was hard to bear at the time.

3. Focus on the rewards

When you are teaching children, you need to make them think about how well rewarding it would be if they achieved their goals. For example, let’s say you are a teacher of young children and plan to buy a few toys of yours. There are many reasons why you should buy the toys, but you only want them to love them once, and this is where the reward is. Make sure they know they are worth more when the moment comes for them to have them. Don’t tell them, “it’s great, good luck with it” (because that is saying nothing), and focus instead on what you would like them to enjoy about them. Talk about how wonderful it would be to get a toy for Christmas. Remember this is their gift, not even a present. They deserve to see you have the same joy they had when they got their presents. Keep encouraging them by giving them a treat every chance they get. Reward them like no other, and you’ll see how easy motivation is to create.
