Ever thought about how to get your kids the value of learning? Or to help your children discover their true self? Learning how to motivate your child is something every parent should learn.

The secret is in knowing the difference between teaching them and helping them to learn what to understand. Children must be prepared to learn by introducing them to the fundamental learning skills such as writing, reading and arithmetic.

This is where instilling and discipline of learning habits is required. This stage can be very bothersome for some kids if they’re pushed beyond their level of ability.

It is of importance that is essential to monitor the kid’s learning process, so the child always has the choice to experience success and adapt the prerequisites.

You’re teaching your kid the tools she or he will need to educate themselves. It is in this area in which you need excellence, discipline and endurance. They need freedom once they’ve learned to utilize the tools. Children need the freedom to pursue topics of their interest.

Among present day’s flaws instruction is that of cramming it down the throats of our kid, and needing tons and tons of knowledge that does not relate in whatever manner.

No surprise they get tired of studying all of the stuff that is irrelevant and produces a hardship towards their education. Let them concentrate on an area that’s relevant to their lives.

I must admit I get fed up of all of the digger books, the firetruck books, the dinosaurs and the good versus evil stories. I’d love to just read about fairies and princesses, but I know that it won’t happen anytime soon.

So I’ve found it has been important for me to find books we both me and my boys can enjoy. Books which includes adventure and rescue, but additionally have an angle.

It’s tiring being a mom with two boys. Over the years I have learnt to put up with the cars. and the tools. The desire to construct something and after that knock it down or jump off it.

At the toy shop, I have been battling going into the boy section, up till last season. I believed I’d choose gender-neutral toys. But have discovered it’s harder than I thought to ignore my son when he rushes into the boy toy section.

A couple of months ago my youngest son was introduced to the Transformers figurines. After many requests, I succumbed and got my son a Transformer.

I managed to convince him he could choose to transform his own personality at any time. And it worked. He really loved playing with the toy. And since then, we’ve found ways to weave transformers into tales and play situations revolving around character building, serving others, and working with others.

From this experience, I’ve discovered that there are ways to turn boy toys into constructive learning experiences.

I’ve been really open to letting my boys discover the things they like doing without adhering to a stereotype. Fortunately, we all like swimming!

For instance, boys can enjoy sewing. They can enjoy going to the Opera. They might be into fashion! So I want to remember not to stereotype them and to be aware of their natural skills.

I would hate to force them into a mould and to mother them with an open heart and an open mind. I keep on reminding myself that boy things aren’t bad.

Being active isn’t bad! Being loudly is not necessarily bad either!
