Praise and rewards don’t always lead to a lasting love of learning. This blog explores what helps children find their own reasons to grow and try new things.
Encouragement can make a child feel good, but when the focus is only on rewards or grades, the activity itself can easily take a back seat. Children’s interest can grow when they understand why a task matters, have a say in how they approach it, and can see their efforts paying off. The blog offers parents and coaches questions and practical activities to help balance adult support with a child’s own initiative.
