One of the questions I get fairly often is ‘How do I motivate an unmotivated homeschool student?’ The tell me, “I'm doing everything I can making their favorite meals and trying to make school fun. They just (fill in the blank) won't get out of bed, won't do their math, etc.
The first part of the solution is the same as you’d do when they were a baby. Be sure that they have what they need:
· Are they hungry?
· Are they tired?
· Are they stressed? Is there stress going on in the home that they may be sensing even if they don't exactly know what's going on? Sometimes things that parents are stressed about even the kids can sense.
· Have they had an adequate amount of large motor activity? Do they have enough down time? Are they having enough time off of screens so that they can really get out a lot of their energy?
Asking these questions first are the prerequisite before we start any type of behavior modification or attending to disciplinary issues. I'll have more tips on this issue coming up soon. Good luck with your home school!!
