Aside from the most important part, Jesus Christ.
Part of the things you need to do is to be a good role model for the kid.
Long term Goal worth getting makes the short term goals a lot more attractive.
Make sure your child always has a long term goal that they can hope to reach and that should be something that can be taken away from them, if that happens you will have a suicidal kid on your hands.
Mentors and role models, if the person he wants to be like is a jurkwad the child will lose interest in reaching that goal and all short term goals will be worthless.
This is why I said Jesus Christ is the best long term goal that will affect all the motivation and focus. And for that matter if you are into religion, you better take a second look... Because religion is a piece of S.... Relationship is where its at. Religion is actions without love.
Relationship is actions attatched to love.
If you don't see God as your personal friend who loves you but rather some far off entity who choses to zap people with lightning for entertainment, then you are in religion..
Anyways Long term goals affect short term actions.
if the child can't see past their face, make a scenario where you offer them something on a subject you know they will fail on. Yes set them up for failure and this will teach them a lesson to try a lot harder. Make sure the reward is also something that you know the child wants the most.
Jesus said.
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Do not lay for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal.-Jesus
Labor for the treasure that will last forever.
LOVE GOD AND LOVE OTHERS.
FORGIVE AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN.
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.

Depends on the age. If they are over 9, take them out dream building. Help them see what they can do, have, be, then you have something to direct their actions towards. Before that weird tweeny age, they are all about your approval even when they are pushing the boundaries and all your buttons. Also get them physically doing and using up energy, even literally running in a circle 10-100 times. They can make a game of it.

Your child is going in right direction, only you need to channelise your energy in such a way that you see purpose in each of your child's activity. A child can never behave like an adult and let him/her enjoy the childhood. It is not to be reversed. They have their own world and perspective. Be a good guide instead that too when the child is twelve years old.

Creative Playtime. I have a high energy child and I sit down with her for about 15 mintues a day..just her and me and we play like we are acting out silly things...I did this just to keep her mind busy when she was smaller of course back then it was for longer periods of time but now she wants to go into acting. She is more focused now.
She has already skipped two grades and she is soo smart that she is always up and beyond the other kids that everything is boring to her. Her brain just moves too fast and it comes out in high energy modes and energy. For her to focus on her homework, she does headphones with music...It keeps her brain busy so she can sit still to do her homework.
She never can sit still.

I find that if I give the student a task, a responsibility, they focus almost right away. Have the student be the person to pass out papers for the day, or have them erase the board at the beginning of class.

How old is the child? You have to help them find something that they really love to do, like sports or art or whatever the case may be. When they are really into something they will take it from there and then you just need to be there to support them. Good luck!

You are asking a question that requires specifics for anyone to really suggest something meaningful.
But ,before you do that ask yourself this question.
What's your definition and description of the "right" channels?
Is it what you determine or what a child determines, or what someone else determines?
Another key question is:
For "whose" benefit?
Is it for the child, for yourself, or for someone else?

Firstly try to find something that your child likes,then work with that.Set small challenges(goals) for them that are easily reached.Try giving them little chores to do around the house.

I agree with the person who said physical play time...although, i would suggest to do it for more than 15min. a day....my husband and i spend one full hour at night with no TV on and just play with our daughter all over the house...we run and jump and dance and sing and throw balls around and all kinds of stuff.....if its still light out, we take her outside and just run around and laugh....it also helps her sleep good at night.
