[quote=Anonymous]My kids went through magnet programs in MCPS. And while they did great and continue to do great, I spent a lot of time with them ensuring that they do their work. I realized that studying, doing homework etc. - is a matter of habit and discipline. These habits need to be formed and this discipline needs to be instilled. What normal child will choose work (study) over play? So, it is important to set up a schedule and adhere to it. Lack of motivation and procrastination is normal and even the so-called high achieving child has to work through them. Even as adults - if we were given an option not to do any work or chores - we will take it. It is only that we know that there are long term consequences of not doing the work that pushes us to tackle them. So, setting goals and schedules and adhering to it is how you get started. Motivation will build up over time when these efforts will bring success. [/quote]
