Parents, you have to be committed before your child can be committed. They can’t drive so they depend upon you get them places. Sometimes a parent feels that their job is to be a taxi cab driver and sometimes the taxi driver doesn’t want to go unless the kid begs. A parent’s job is to set the child’s rules and to nurture the child until the rules are part of the child’s value system. Affirmations such as…
”Quitters never win and winners never quit.”
“As long as I try, I am somebody.”
“I can accomplish my goal, no matter what it takes.”
“Day by day, I’m getting better and better!”
“I am born to win.”
These affirmations can have a powerful effect on teaching and maintaining motivation.
