Welcome to this week's issue of MoonCrawler! Today, we focus on strategies to motivate your children to study and learn every day. We'll share tips for parents, a real-life story from India, and some enlightening facts and figures.

The Challenge of Academic Motivation

As a parent, you might find it challenging to motivate your children to study regularly. Many parents face similar struggles, especially in today's digital age where distractions are abundant. In India, where education is highly valued, ensuring that children stay focused and motivated can be particularly demanding.

The Conventional method to Induce Discipline & Motivation

Meet Priya, a mother from Bangalore. Priya's son, Aarav, was losing interest in his studies and preferred playing video games over doing homework. Despite her best efforts, Priya found it hard to encourage Aarav to focus on his academics. She tried various methods, from strict schedules to rewards, but nothing seemed to work.

In desperation, Priya decided to send Aarav to a boarding school, hoping he would become disciplined and more interested in his studies. However, after a few years, Aarav, once a fun and happy boy, became introverted and silent. He struggled to share his feelings or thoughts with his parents.

Many parents make the mistake of sending their children to boarding school to enforce discipline and motivation, but often, what children truly need is their parents' support and involvement to thrive.

(Some Facts)

• According to the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) 2020 report, around 30% of children in India face distractions from electronic devices, which affects their motivation to study.

• A 2019 ASER report (Annual Status of Education Report) indicated that 60% of rural Indian students require additional support outside school to remain academically motivated.

Effective Strategies for Motivating your Children to Study Daily

Here are some proven strategies to help motivate your children to study everyday:

• Create a Routine: Establish a daily study routine where your child studies for 45 minutes after school with a 15-minute break before starting again. This structure helps build a habit and makes study time a regular part of their day.

• Set Goals and Rewards: Set a goal for your child to complete their math homework each day. If they achieve this goal for a week, reward them with a special outing or a small gift they've been wanting. This provides motivation and a sense of achievement.

• Make Learning Fun: Use educational games like ABCmouse or apps like Duolingo to make subjects like reading and language learning more engaging. You can also turn spelling words into a fun game by creating flashcards and playing memory or matching games.

• Be Involved: Show interest in your child’s projects and homework by discussing what they are learning at school. For instance, if they are studying plants in science, spend time together planting seeds and observing their growth, making learning a hands-on experience.
