How to motivate son/daughter to get them into studies?

Answer 1

Show them the pitfalls of not having a good education. Working at McDonalds at 35 and such.

Answer 2

This could be kinda desperate!!! But what you can do is say for example new report card if you have all A's(or what you think is good for your child) you can go buy a toy under 25.00 dollars! You could also keep a chart and every time the child studies and makes a good grade on the test you put a star up and when they get a reasonable amount of stars they get a special surprise as maybe being checked out 1 hour early or something great like that

Answer 3

Try taking them to some big time College to a football game-(even if you really don't' care about this type thing.)
No matter what their age they will see such enthusiasm and social happenings -- then walk thru the college -maybe stop at the schools coffee shop - stop and get some t shirts, etc.
Do this as often as possible. Possibly this life style may rub off and give them a motivation to GET THERE.

Answer 4

depending on the age, you could sit them down and tell them the chain of events that happens when you dont study. Like, if u dont study, you wont get grades, which wont get u in to a good college, which wont give you a great carreer, which means youll get a cruddy salary, then you wont be able to have the things you wont in life, and good luck finding a significant other when they see ur a loser with a crappy job. its a viscious cycle. if they dont understand that, ask them what could studying hurt. tell them to atleast try it cuz only good could come from it, which isnt whats coming from not studying.

Answer 5

well, it depends on how old they are, but basically, there are two approaches. reward or punishment. make a deal with them about what grades are/aren't acceptable, and agree what the consequences of bad grades will be. maybe take away priveleges. or, if they do well, reward them with money, or permission to do something/go somewhere that they usually can't.

i have to say, though, that interest in studies, and desire to further educate yourself comes with age. i'm in high school, and i get good grades for me, because i know that it's up to me and that it's my "job" to get good grades, to get into college.

Answer 6

I got a computer for my kids and they love to study and do homework with it. After they finish studying I let then play games until supper.

Answer 7

try child physichology= this is how to work it=Find out what each is interested in very much, then seperately tell each one that if thats what their interested in, the only way to achieve their goal is to learn as much as they can in school and if they do it to your satisfaction. That you will personally help them with scholastics to become what they want..Believe me it works even on groan professionals.

Answer 8

say that if they do well enought they can go to uni and meet alot of people their age. maybe go studies overseas, studying a particular hobby etc.

Answer 9

Reward the with something.Like uhh say if u make all a's and b's on your next report card u get to (w/e they liek to do).
