Magic Motivators: Sprinkles

Janine — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 05:50:00 +0000

Motivating children is easy when you understand what they desire. The most desired rewards are different for different kinds of people. An Olympic competitor is after a gold metal. A businessman is looking to maximize profits. I am convinced, it is the tummy that is the key to a young child’s heart.

Although any kind of treat could be used, I prefer sprinkles because they are tasty, small and fun. These Magic Motivators provide an immediate reward that satisfies your children’s sweet tooth without the dreaded sugar high and without spoiling their appetites.

Sprinkles add excitement because children associate them with parties and special occasions. They are definitely memory makers. Your children will jump for joy when they see you pull out a bag of sprinkles. Never mind that they are going to be doing the same copy-work or memory verse for the millionth time – Sprinkles make learning fun every time!

If you introduce rewards in the right way, your kids will develop a love for learning that only personalized motivation can bring. Because their desires will change, you will want to change up the rewards. Elementary-aged children might like toys, games, or a special family outing. Young adults would enjoy more responsibility, special privileges, or money.

While sprinkles work now, your goal is to make learning the reward. Once you do that, you won’t be able to stop your children from soaking up information. So remember to change your system with the interests of your children and the excitement that sprinkles once brought to learning will never end.

For more ways to motivate your children to learn, like me on Facebook or follow me on Pinterest. Thank you for your support!
