Motivating Homeschooling Teens
A budding musician can practice without interruption.An artist can paint in an ideal setting. A writer can finish that first novel. A family can travel to the site of an important event in history and spend time learning first hand about the event. DEPTH Your teen is likely to be better off learning one thing in depth than ten things on a superficial level. You have the opportunity to relay vital and important information and to teach it in depth.
Skip the extraneous busy work;it is disrespectful to the growing intellect of your child. GUIDE As your child becomes an older teen, the parent should become more of a guide or facilitator. The goal here is to partner with your child to enhanceresponsible life choices.
Refrain from disciplining and teaching through guilt and fear. Extrinsic motivation through fear is a poor motivator. It may seem to have short-term benefits, but it has long-term consequences. You and your teen will have to navigate the waters together as a team.
Your child is learning to be captain of the ship, free to choose a life path, and free to make mistakes along the way. LISTEN Teens need to be heard, even when they don't speak up. Sometimes when your child wants to talk, you will be tired or busy. Find the time to talk anyway. Listen carefully. In many ways, your teenager needs you now more than ever.
