- Synopsis
- In this helpful resource, expert educator Barbara R. Blackburn guides parents through the top eight myths about motivation and reveals what really works for kids. Each chapter is filled with practical information and stories that help you understand how to handle a variety of situations related to your child’s success at school. Blackburn helps you get to the bottom of issues such as: • Is motivating with rewards effective? • What if your student doesn’t care about school? • How does your relationship with your student affect their motivation? • How can you set high expectations without too much pressure? • Is it okay for my kid to struggle, get stuck, and fail? • How does competition affect success in school? • What should you do when nothing seems to be working? Chapters also include specific classroom connections for each strategy, so you can begin proactively working with your child's teacher. With the accessible advice in this book, you’ll be able to reach your child more effectively so that he or she is more motivated from within, and more successful in school and beyond! Bonus: Guides for collaboration between parents and schools are available on our website at www.routledge.com/9781138368200 so that schools can use the book to work more effectively with parents through PTA and PTO organizations, family support groups, and more. You'll also find a guide for parents to use to facilitate book clubs or reading groups.
