It also <strong>encourages self discipline <\/strong>which is important when students<strong> control their learning pace<\/strong> and workload.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>motivation creates confidence<\/strong>, <strong>burnout level decreases<\/strong>, and<strong> learning <\/strong>becomes <strong>more interesting <\/strong>for both the student and parent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Motivation<\/strong> leads children toward <strong>taking initiatives, topics and a <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/lifelong-learning\/\"><strong>lifelong learning<\/strong><\/a>\r\n as passion are the <strong>major goals of homeschooling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Motivate_Your_Homeschooled_child\"><\/span>How to Motivate Your Homeschooled child?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Stay_Optimistic\"><\/span>1.

Therefore, do not punish your child if he has not finished his task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use positive reinforcement instead, since it may promote a better environment and a general enjoyment of learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he completes an assignment, give them a compliment rather than a timeout or loss of free time. Give him praise for a job well done and encouragement if he is having a hard time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every human being needs affirmation. Give it frequently and observe how your child&#8217;s eyes light up and the drive rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Be_Sympathetic\"><\/span>2. Be Sympathetic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, letting your kid know that you are aware of his feelings might help him get through trying circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may show your children that you are aware of the problem and that you understand their troubles by using phrases like &#8220;I realise you&#8217;re having trouble focusing right now&#8221; and &#8220;I notice that you&#8217;re having a tough time starting your project.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Get_Outside\"><\/span>3.

Plan a time to review some of their previous work if they are having trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlight their accomplishments, abilities, and development while praising their efforts.

Let Them Earn More Freedom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Providing<\/strong> a child who is homeschooled<strong> more freedom<\/strong> is one of the most effective ways to <strong>encourage someone<\/strong>. However, there is a fee they need to pay to receive the freedom. They have to <strong>earn it by doing their chores <\/strong>or <strong>by being obedient<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might be referred to as<strong> giving them some control over their schedule<\/strong>. This can be done by picking which <strong>subjects they wish to cover, or time earned for activities<\/strong> they like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing <strong>children with an opportunity<\/strong> to earn freedom helps them to see that <strong>work and responsibility are what eventually bring <\/strong>more <strong>freeness<\/strong>. It <strong>creates<\/strong> a sense of <strong>achievement and ownership <\/strong>of their learning thus <strong>raising <\/strong>their <strong>intrinsic motivation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Motivate_Your_Child_With_Their_Currency\"><\/span>8. Motivate Your Child With Their Currency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each <strong>child has <\/strong>his or her<strong> own \u201ccurrency.\u201d Something they want<\/strong>: more <strong>screen time<\/strong>, some <strong>special treat<\/strong>, an <strong>outing<\/strong> to something they choose. It is possible to <strong>stimulate them with this currency<\/strong> as a system of reward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon the <strong>completion of any learning task<\/strong> or <strong>positive attitude<\/strong> <strong>reward them<\/strong> with something they<strong> take pleasure in<\/strong>. Not only is this <strong>more fun for them to learn<\/strong>, it helps them understand the <strong>sense of effort being rewarded.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to<strong> involve <\/strong>your <strong>child in setting these goals<\/strong>, so that they<strong> feel some control <\/strong>over the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Positive_Feedback\"><\/span>9. Positive Feedback<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Positive feedback <\/strong>is probably the <strong>strongest motivator<\/strong> for any child, particularly<strong> under homeschooling <\/strong>conditions. When your <strong>child succeeds, reward the efforts, not just the outcome.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes nothing more than attention and care to <strong>recognize <\/strong>their <strong>hard work, persistence <\/strong>and <strong>creativity<\/strong>. <strong>Positive reinforcement increases self-esteem and increases effort.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can<strong> use common affirmations <\/strong>such as <strong>\u201cYou did a great job organizing your project\u201d<\/strong>, or<strong> \u201cI love how you tackled that difficult math problem\u201d<\/strong>. This can take you a long way in making your <strong>child feel valued <\/strong>and <strong>enabling him\/her to continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Invite_Friends_Over\"><\/span>10. Invite Friends Over<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social interaction <\/strong>is very important in a <strong>child\u2019s overall development and motivation<\/strong> too. <strong>Plan a get together of friends<\/strong> or classmates for group study or for working on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/online-group-projects\/#What_are_online_group_projects\"><strong>online group projects<\/strong>.<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, not only does it help to <strong>break the monotony, <\/strong>but also it<strong> gives a feeling of enjoyment <\/strong>and<strong> a good competition. Peer work can spark interest<\/strong> and bring <strong>new insight to topics<\/strong> which are sometimes boring to study individually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can <strong>motivate your homeschooler<\/strong> to complete his or her tasks in the expectation of <strong>socializing afterwards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Reduce_Their_Workload\"><\/span>11. Reduce Their Workload<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes<strong> you spread yourself too thin<\/strong>, and the key to <strong>motivation isn\u2019t putting more on the plate<\/strong> but decreasing the weight. <strong>Burying your child with homework <\/strong>or <strong>expectation for high achievement could lead to burnout <\/strong>and frustration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rather than clutter<\/strong> your <strong>child\u2019s mind with stuff <\/strong>probably won\u2019t measure up to expectations. <strong>Break tasks into manageable pieces<\/strong> and give your child <strong>time to absorb things without specific deadlines<\/strong> laid on his back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By thinning their tasks, it releases them, lifting them up, <strong>making them desire more learning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Let_Them_Listen_to_Music\"><\/span>12. Let Them Listen to Music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Music is special <\/strong>in regard to <strong>use in changing mood,<\/strong> <strong>focus, <\/strong>and <strong>productivity<\/strong>. Have your homeschooled child <strong>listen to music<\/strong> while doing <strong>tasks that require concentration<\/strong> such as <strong>reading, writing, <\/strong>and <strong>doing math<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can<strong> induce a relaxed and a motivating environment,<\/strong> and can make them<strong> focus better.<\/strong> It\u2019s okay to let your <strong>child determine the style of music <\/strong>he or she likes. From mellow <strong>instrumental tunes <\/strong>or <strong>classical music<\/strong> to the <strong>more energetic<\/strong> kind of music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music offers<strong> a sensory outlet<\/strong> that enables even the <strong>most tedious activities<\/strong> to become <strong>more fun<\/strong>. Thus, making it easy to <strong>stay in tune with their lessons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Give_Them_Space\"><\/span>13. Give Them Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the <strong>only way <\/strong>you can<strong> motivate a child<\/strong> is <strong>leaving them alone<\/strong>. Provide free time for your homeschooler to <strong>think for himself, work independently, <\/strong>or be<strong> involved in creative activities<\/strong>. It is a way to<strong> breathe new life <\/strong>into their interest of learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freedom to learn<\/strong> about subjects <strong>the way they want to<\/strong> learn about them makes them feel as if they have <strong>more control of their education<\/strong>. This <strong>autonomy encourages intrinsic desire <\/strong>and a zeal to take ownership of their learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guidance is important.<\/strong> But at times <strong>stepping back and adding space<\/strong> will enable children to <strong>think critically and creatively<\/strong>. To the point that they will <strong>become more self motivated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_Steps_go_a_Long_Way\"><\/span>Small Steps go a Long Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although changes in motivation for&nbsp;homeschooling&nbsp;children are expected during the academic year, it is crucial to address the issue before he or she falls behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to communicate with your children in a direct manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about the problem and coming up with solutions will help your kid develop motivating techniques that will help them now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the blog, as we have provided <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.21kschool.com\/ua\/blog\/tips-and-tricks-for-first-time-online-homeschoolers\/\">top 5 tips and tricks for first time online homeschoolers<\/a>\r\n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children who learn in a controlled setting at home frequently behave similarly to children who attend school.
