Encouraging your child to do well is essential for school success. In order for your child to do his or her best in the classroom he or she must have both internal and external motivators. Sometimes it is easy for your child's teacher to find what helps motivate your child and sometimes it is a difficult task. Teacher's have many demands on them. Brainstorming ideas with your child's teacher on ways to motivate your child maybe helpful to him or her.
