“Want
to maximize your child motivation on learning? Here are two tips that are sure
to help.”
In a class or at home, there are times that waiting on
a child to giveback is incredibly frustrating especially when you have put in
so much effort to describe how the child can do a task and he isn’t improving. It
seems the easier resolve would be to allow such a child to move onto another
activity or task rather than keep struggling with one task. It is even more frustrating
when you are waiting for the child to learn to eat and finish his food, or learn to wear shoes on the
right feet in order for you to go attend to a task. You believe the child have
plenty of time, and so you just stop pushing him / or her to continue trying
again.
Compliment:
If a teacher or parent compliments a child for a task well done, there is more
of a chance that the instructor would have further well done task in future. This
consequence makes positive behaviors happen in a learner more frequently. Therefore,
when a child makes little effort in carrying out a task with your help or his
own ability, use compliment. Compliment lets a leaner spend most of his time trying
to learn a task on his own and eventually be able to carry out the task successfully on his own.
Example:
When I was on my way to learn how to iron my dad’s
shirts at age 10, he would stand by me and say something like, “Spread the
collar inside out on the ironing board. Place one shoulder of the shirt over
the narrow end of the board so that the piece of the shirt that stretches
across the upper back faces up.” And I would
do something else. At times he collects the iron from me to describe the
exact way to do the ironing before handing it back to me. Nonetheless, I would
do something contrary to the instruction. In this case, he would only just say, “Nooo, that’s not it. It
is this way.” As I begin to get the ironing correctly, he would say something like,
“Yes, that’s it! That’s my girl. You are getting it right.” Rather than getting
frustrated, pushing me aside, collects his shirt and do his own ironing, he
applied patience and compliment. In the course of time, I started ironing my own
clothes and then, iron his shirts without being told.
Reinforcement:
This should come immediately after compliment, rather than being delayed. Reinforcement
that happens only some of the time causes learning to take longer, but also
causes it to last longer.
Example:
A child was able to tie his shoe lace with your
help. After complimenting the child, he should be reinforced by tying the shoe
lace all on his own.
