Motivating the Children

Motivation is an important tool for parents in bringing up the children. Parents shall know how to motivate the children to achieve certain goals. It is also important to set goals for the children so that they can prepare themselves for competitions in the future.

Motivation is nothing but encouragement, reminding the duty, encouragement, support and help. It is like a tonic to the children that gives the potentiality to them. It is like guidance to the kids to lead their life in proper way. A path to achieve heights in their life.

Parents shall start the motivation from childhood. The levels of motivations shall be increased step  by step so that the child did not feel the pain.

Before taking up motivation, parents must understand the children's mind set. They shall know in what field and subject their children are good at. Parents shall know whether the child has interest in sports, arts, academics and etc. Then they have to find out how that field will help the children to make money or name.

After that they can set the goals for children. If a child shows interest in mathematics they can be encouraged to take up IT, commerce, economics and marketing. If a kid shows interest in science it can be encouraged to take up medicine, bio technology, science research, research in physics, chemistry and more.

After deciding the field that suits the child, parents shall set goals for them to achieve. They shall set goals like scoring better in that particular subject. Latter they can be asked to read books of that particular field other than text books so that they can increase their knowledge. The kids must be told that they shall excel others in the particular subject.

Once child starts understanding the subject, they shall be asked to go for competitions and win them. Once a child wins a competition, it will gain confidence and that will encourage them to go deep in to the subject. For achieving the goals, parents shall support the child in all kinds. They shall be given needed books and other material. If there is a need they can be sent to coaching. They shall be given enough time to prepare in that subject.

If a child takes up sport as career, then the child shall be given proper training under the supervision of a good coach. The child shall be given all the material that particular sport needs. They must give the food that is needed for that particular sport.

Same is the case with the other subjects and careers. Parents shall provide all types of support to the children so that they did not lag behind.

However, parents shall not coerce the children to select particular subject in which the they are not good at. It is always needed to encourage the children to take what they really like. If the child is forced to take up other subject than it likes, they will not be able to concentrate and will feel lot of pain in their mind.

That will create aversion on that particular subject and they end up as failed person. So parents shall encourage the children in the subject or field that is much closer to their hearts. One shall keep in mind that no subject is less than the other. All subject give ample scope to grow high.
