Parents’ interest and involvement in their children’s education can spark their enthusiasm and show them that learning can be rewarding and worth the effort. When parents read with their children, engage their teachers, participate in the school community, and help with homework, they can give their children a remarkable advantage—not only in school, but in life. In order to be successful and motivated, there are several factors that need to be considered—children not only need to develop good study habits and organizational skills, they also need to develop character strengths that support motivation—like curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and determination. They need to learn self-control and how to manage stress in a healthy way. They need to learn to not fear failure, but to see it as an opportunity for growth. They also need positive self-esteem and the confidence that they can succeed in spite of difficulties. Educators call these characteristics “social-emotional learning skills,” or “non-cognitive skills.”These “social-emotional learning skills” are the abilities that do not show up on standardized tests, but rather provide our children with the essential knowledge and tools to think critically and problem solve. These are the social traits that help our children become independently and intrinsically motivated. A recent study done by researchers at Oregon State University have found that these social and emotional skills are just as important as academic skills in laying the foundation for student success. Plus, one doesn’t have to be born with these abilities—they can be taught and learned. As a parent you have a large responsibility in whether or not your children will be motivated to try their hardest in school. In the end it is up to them, but you have the power to help your children develop both strong abilities and lasting habits. This book will help you achieve that.
