To the topic of the school: encouraging a child for good schooling

Thousands of parents face many challenges related to the successful teaching of the child. Many schoolchildren can successfully study only under the condition of constant additional lessons. It is no wonder, that mums and daddies search for variants of competent motivation of the child for study.

Is it worth paying for the evaluation: expert opinion

Often parents themselves form a kind of "payment system" for good grades. But what do teachers and psychologists say about this? Specialists with professional pedagogical education are categorically against payment by moms and dads of good marks. But why? After all, often parents who are "for" material incentive, say that for school students studying is essentially the same work. That's why they are calling to pay this decent work.

However, such a position is fundamentally wrong and leads to collapse. Each student should be clearly aware that good and strong knowledge (rather than evaluations received for replies from the board, tests, dictations and tests!) Are vital to him. It is not necessary to draw analogies with the work of an adult in this situation. For such labor, the employer pays the employer, who receives a certain benefit from the work done by his subordinates. The pupil studies first of all for himself. Yes, to some extent it works, but does it solely for its own good and future.

We are developing our own incentive system

It turns out that the system of incentives should be abandoned altogether? No, psychologists and teachers do not insist on this and unanimously repeat that encouragement should not be monetary. it is decided to award a child for achievements in studies, it is not necessary to do it haphazardly. It is necessary to come up with and develop a clear mechanism that will take into account the type of incentive, its scope, regularity (for each evaluation, for overall performance, for a quarter).
To the note: it is possible to introduce a system of incentives that will be based on incentives for obtaining good marks only for subjects that are the most difficult for the child.

It is equally important to consider the issues of monitoring progress and the need to introduce fines. These questions are extremely important and should not be ignored, as modern children are very smart and inventive. To get your "prize", many of them are ready to find loopholes or go on a frank deception.

What can be the encouragement?

If teachers and psychologists strongly recommend to give up the monetary equivalent, then what can you think of? These can be small pleasant and unexpected presents: a new felt-tip pen and an album for drawing, garments or accessories, original school supplies, etc. Now the children are very popular with "trolling." This is an eraser in the form of the characters of the cartoon "Trolls". Their main function is to help children in school, entertaining them at the same time. Such erasers have many positive characteristics:
  1. bright coloring, so they are difficult to lose in a school backpack;
  2. they are unusual and much more interesting than the usual eraser;
  3. "Trolling" made in the form of attachments to pencils, which facilitates and accelerates the process of solving problems in mathematics and helps in drawing lessons;
  4. they can be used in table games as figures.

Well, plus is that they can be received as a gift literally in any "Pyaterenko".
For reference: figurines of small trolls are given free of charge in Pyaterochka for every 555 rubles in check. They can also be obtained for the purchase of goods participating in the action, or simply buy at the ticket office for 49 rubles.
If as incentives can be introduced a special tradition - to collect some items - then the "trolling" will be able to play its role here. After all, there are 15 figures, and this is quite a big incentive to collect them all.

There is also one more remarkable variant of stimulation in study. It is suitable for families with two schoolchildren and more. On the wall in the living room or in the children's room is to create a special stand. It names the children. During the school week, in front of the name of each child, buttons or magnets fix the fives and fours cut out of paper. Healthy competition, excitement, the spirit of competition drives children and makes them show more zeal in class at school. Apparently, not always stimulation is inextricably interconnected with the financial issue. Each parent can come up with their own gift options based on the child's preferences, tastes, hobbies and budget. Some moms and dads and at all as an incentive choose the presents-emotions. It can be a trip to the water park, visiting your favorite cafe, watching a new cartoon or a children's film in the cinema. Many students enthusiastically accept incentives in the format of a trip to the zoo, a creative workshop, a dolphinarium or an amusement park.
