getting kids to do things they don't want to do, like math for example
In this conversation, Mariette and I discuss how to motivate children to do tasks they don't enjoy, specifically focusing on math. We explore strategies such as setting parameters, incorporating math into daily activities, and giving children a sense of control and choice.
Takeaways
- Set parameters and give children a sense of control and choice when it comes to tasks they don't enjoy.
- Incorporate math into daily activities to make it more engaging and relevant.
- Consider using different math programs and breaking down concepts into smaller, more manageable steps.
- Understand that learning is a process and there is no rush to complete a certain curriculum by a specific deadline.
Sound Bites
- "There's always going to be things you don't want to do."
- "We don't want them in a state of alarm."
