5.Reward your child
According to research roughly 48% of parents in America reward their children with money for their achievements. It is the opinion of specialists that occasionally rewarding your child with money might motivate the child to do better, but it can also be problematic. If a learner is rewarded with money too many times it can lead to the learner losing his/her inner motivation and he/she will end up working for the money only.
Specialists say that if a learner is not naturally motivated to excel, it is better to reward him/her for that which he/she do achieve rather than punishing him/her for a lack of achievement. In other words, still reward the learner for an achievement of 50%, rather than punishing him/her.
You can reward the learner for good behaviour, good work or a good report, in one of the following ways. Rewarding the learner often will encourage him/her to work harder and will also build their self-confidence.
