Some people want to learn by themselves, others have to be motivated. In any case, you need to be able to motivate to study. Below is a conversation between two smart people discussing this issue, we will welcome your comments.


- How to motivate children to study?

- Are we talking about children that you have access to as a parent, or other children that you have access to as a teacher?

- Let's start with the teacher.

- Then I won't tell you anything.

- Then we'll go straight to the second point. The situation is my child, I am a parent.

- Then there should be my system, the main feature of which is two-step. Start with the second stage, because it is very close to you. Here, the motivation to study is created by a story and showing the prospects that this child will have if they master this educational material and, in principle, study well. You need to make your studies joyful, accompany your studies with a sense of success, and create an understanding in the child that everything is working out for him. An easy start and a joyful path to a great goal. An easy start, a beautiful path to a wonderful goal.

Clarification: the beautiful path is not a free path, but a path with difficulties and increasing levels of difficulty. Our children must face difficulties, be able to overcome them and feel like winners. Success in overcoming for a child – it's wonderful!

​​​​​​​All this is the second stage. But in order for the second stage to be realized and implemented properly, it must be preceded by the first stage. And this first stage is not close to you, because its task is discipline and absolute obedience of the child.
Otherwise, the child will not listen to you. That is, one day he will want to listen to you, and one day he will have more interesting entertainment than you, and he will not care about you.

- Well, maybe it's a material motivation.

- Material motivation does not work in the organization of studies: children begin to tell how difficult and difficult it is for them, and they demand more and more from their parents. The child starts to bargain with you. If, of course, you want to teach him how to bargain, then you will get it here.

- Yes, I understand, but I have my misgivings. At the first stage, achieving discipline, the child can be scored, and then he will not be interested in learning.

- Yes, it is. If the child is slaughtered, no study is possible. But you're not the kind of parent who would beat up their child. You're not violent, you're normal, you love your children.

- Bringing to absolute obedience requires sacrifice.

- Yes, it requires, but small and not heavy. For a child, it is not difficult to listen to parents who are loving and reasonable, it is much easier than running into a knot or solving situations in the yard or classroom. It's much tougher than learning to listen to your parents. And you will also protect your child. This is normal.

Once again, if your child really listens to you and accepts what you tell them, you can tell them everything you want. You have a huge life experience, an interesting life experience, and your child will learn from you as it should. Without any problems with motivation.
