That impulse must be in each one of us every day, from the moment we wake up until the end of the day, which will allow us to feel good and happy. However, many times external motivation is needed, for example by bosses in a work environment or by teachers in schools and parents.

At the educational level it is important both in the classroom and at home to reinforce motivation. That is why particularly in this post, I want to focus on the importance of motivating children.
Particularly a few days ago I had the opportunity to help my child with an oral presentation that was very important, as it had to be presented to all the children at school, it was there where I reflected on the importance of motivation to strengthen their confidence in their abilities and skills and that if prepared with dedication and perseverance it is possible to obtain good results.
It can be observed that children feel motivated when by themselves they seek to learn, do their homework and fulfill their duties, which translates into an improvement in academic performance, or on the contrary, low motivation, discouragement and disinterest in what they do can be observed, which can affect their emotional side, making it more difficult for them to take action and therefore slow actions.
With this return to on-site classes where after a long time they have to meet a schedule that involves getting up earlier, doing more activities, can be for them causes of discouragement and may not enjoy the new experiences, sharing with classmates and learning.
As parents, we must show interest in the children's homework, their achievements, their progress, transmitting confidence and supporting them. It is not to control their tasks, what they do, since that could generate more stress or worry in the child instead of encouraging them to obtain better results and they would be limited when sharing any doubt, it is essential to maintain good communication so that they find support when solving a problem and proper guidance.

It is necessary to work with clear goals and objectives so that children can identify what they want to achieve and thus focus on execution, thus facilitating the identification of their weaknesses and strengths.
You can choose to share activities such as reading, learning content through dynamics or games. Many times children may think that what they have studied in class has no importance, that is why as a tool you can use linking the content with its use in daily life and different applications, which will allow a better fixation of the content.
It is also important to support them in activities outside of school where they want to participate, to have their time to play and disconnect.

As we can see, parents play a fundamental role in motivating children. However, each person has his or her own inner motivation, so we must be attentive when they show disinterest and look for tools to help them. It is a very nice experience to share with children and help them to foster a positive attitude that allows them to face life better.
