[quote=Anonymous]I don't emphasize "working hard" as an abstract value, because at a young age I don't think they get it and I would be a hypocrite because I honestly don't value it for its own sake either. Instead, I emphasize "figuring out what's needed to achieve a goal, then doing that" because it's something that can easily apply to a variety of situations and, frankly, I think it makes more sense. Make getting good grades worth it to the child. Then, help them plan how they're going to get the grades that they (for whatever reason) want. When they succeed, they've learned clearly that if they want anything good out of life they need to put in sufficient effort to earn it.[/quote]
