Children live in the here and now and sometimes find it difficult to undertake tasks such as learning or tidying up. In this case, but also when a child has set himself a challenging task, it helps a lot if parents give a powerful initial motivation. In the process help praise and recognition, but also cheering words. And in the end, when the job is done, you should be happy with your child.

Motivation for the beginning

Phrases like "As energetic as you are today, you're done in a hurry!" Or "Come on, I'll help you pick up the blocks." Get your child on the move. Has it started with the task, much has already been achieved.

Praise and appreciation for the first progress

"Wow, you've already packed the stuffed animals in the basket, that was fast!" Or "Ui, already solved five math problems - and in such a short time!" Are balm for the child and spur on it, with the continue working with the same energy.

Five minutes break - draw new energy

In slack phases, a break may be appropriate, for example, when your child is clearly exhausted. If it just does not feel like it anymore, it makes more sense to offer a small reward if the tasks are done quickly.

Recognize good results

"I know how stressful it was to clean up for you. It's great that you've done so well! "Maybe" I saw that you had to pull yourself up on the tree with a lot of strength and now you're up there. Great!"

If it does not work out: inspiring and comforting

Defeats can not be avoided in life. If the grade is worse than you thought or your child fails in another job, comfort it, but do not regret it. It is better to try it again or to make more effort next time.
