It is imperative to encourage your child to do well in school. This will give the student motivation, give him confidence in his abilities. It also allows parents to express their pride in their son or daughter.
There are many ways to encourage your child to learn. Some of the parents praise for each grade, someone switches to monetary relations with the child and pays for good studies. Some parents buy expensive things that the child will ask for, while others send their son or daughter on a good holiday abroad. There are many ways to encourage children, each of which has both positive and negative qualities.
Cash incentives
Cash incentives for good grades are known to many families. Parents pay the child to receive fours and fives, or pay a certain amount for good grades in a quarter. This really increases the child's motivation, he begins to try better in the classroom, his academic performance increases and his behavior at school improves. Such parents believe that school is work for the child, and a prize is awarded for good performance of work.
This opinion is really true, but it is necessary to explain to such a child that he studies not for teachers, parents and not for the sake of money, but for himself. It is useful to explain to him what the knowledge gained will be useful for. Then the child's motivation will not be limited only by the desire to earn money. In addition, such children may show not just motivation to get a good grade, but addiction when they go to school even with a temperature or force themselves to study an unloved subject at any cost, so that they do not get a bad grade. And some schoolchildren who are paid by their parents show a desire for deception and secrecy, detachment from classmates, and isolation.
Gifts
Giving gifts is also one of the old parenting traditions to reward schoolchildren. It is quite effective both for motivating the student and for expressing parental gratitude and praise for a good study. When a student knows that he has been promised some good thing that he has long wanted - a computer, bicycle, tablet or phone, he starts trying to finish the year with good grades. Often such a gift is some kind of permission or rest where the child wants to go. But you need to agree with the child for something pleasant to him, so that he really wants to get it, and also negotiate all the terms of such an agreement in advance. It is very important that parents make sure to fulfill this promise, and not find fault at the last moment about some trifle and do not cancel their decision. Otherwise, the child may lose any motivation to study.
