Children are less likely to obey rules or do their tasks, with their young minds they are
prone to feeling monotony. You will have to think of ways to make them feel that what
they do (no how trivial the tasks are) matter.
Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool you can use to motivate children. When the
children act or performed positively you reward them accordingly.

Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool you can use to motivate children. When the
children act or performed positively you reward them accordingly. You can use this
reward to encourage positive behaviour and change a pre-existing one.
Compliment and recognize their behaviour. We often hear parents using the phrase,
"very good" , this may be a simple phrase but it makes children feel that they did a great
job. With constant compliments, children will continue to do good.
Positive gestures.
This can be in the form of a handshake, the familiar high-fives, a wink,
or even just a smile. Gestures can fill in those emotions that are hard to express in
words. Give the children a huge smile when they do well in school or a high five when
they do something nice
Reward them with special time. Allow them to play games with their favorite playmates
as a reward for them helping with household chores. This will make them look forward to
doing chores, the next time Praise them in public. Give them warm applause when they
do a great act or perform in a school play. Tell them they are doing a great job in front of
their friends. Validating their efforts will help them gain confidence.
Increased time off.
Children like to play so it is a challenge sometimes to keep them doing their homework.
Encourage them by helping out with the homework. Once they are done, reward them
with more time watching their favorite show or more time to play.
The goal of Positive Reinforcement is to motivate children to continue showing positive
behaviors. Make it a habit to praise children when they are specifically doing well. Your
effort to motivate the children may not work at first, keep going, it will take time and
patience.

Remember which positive reinforcement was more effective and make revisions of less
likely accepted ones. You may have to change other ways if you see that it no longer
enforces positive behaviors.
