Here are some tips on how to keep your children motivated to do well in school.
1. Show your child that you value education
Valuing education starts with making sure your child is present at school – only legitimate illness is a reason to be absent. Talk about school and ask about your child’s day.
2. Reward the right way
Your attention and time are valuable commodities to your child. A visit to the park, movie night on the couch, or trip for hot chocolate or ice cream can be surprise celebrations after the fact (not offered as a bribe in advance). Make sure that TV/video games/social media time come after homework and chores are completed for the night.
3. Support the school
It’s important to speak respectfully about staff and school/classroom decisions when your children are in earshot. Show your child that you’re going to be involved in the school year by signing their agenda and follow through by communicating regularly with the teacher throughout the year.
