The main question of psychology is the question of motivation. Correctly and steadily formed, it allows you to reach the peaks and not stop at the achieved level. Many parents think about how to increase the motivation of a child when he is still very young.
Instructions
Step 1
Everyone has their own inclinations and capabilities, explore them from early childhood. This will make it possible to establish exactly what kind of information stimulates, activates the child and includes him in interaction with the outside world. Establish his socionic type with a specialist. There are only 16 types, and each of them needs separate recommendations.
Step 2
If there is no way to see a specialist, make sure that the child has as many diverse experiences as possible. Then it will be easier for him to find what includes him in interaction with the world. For this, it is not necessary to take the child to classes in different circles, although this is also good. Almost all children watch TV, so this method is suitable for everyone. Observe what films and shows your child loves and try to develop interest. If he loves to watch the adventures of a police dog, buy him a good encyclopedia of service dogs. If it's about beauty and fashion, find a magazine with fashionable hairstyles for him. Give small dumbbells to a young sports lover. For a talk-show lover - a toy microphone, and for a music lover - a simple synthesizer. A person who has hobbies and therefore an increased level of vital energy has less motivation problems than a sluggish and lack of initiative since childhood.
Step 3
However, for the formation of high motivation, it is not enough for a person to simply be involved in interaction with the world; he needs feedback from the world. In the form of an assessment of skills. Preschoolers often themselves literally ask for an assessment. It would seem that you just need to stimulate the child with praise and condemn the wrong behavior. But it’s not that simple. First, do not evaluate every action, otherwise the child can be brought to a neurosis or made an evaluative "addict" who cannot take a step without her. Secondly, evaluate to be as objective as possible, as if you were giving it not to your child, but to someone else's. If the child reacts painfully to criticism, it is necessary to stop assessing his behavior and actions altogether for a while.
