Learn to reward efforts

At an early age, children set small actions to achieve things.

From a very basic and primary instinct we know that every step in life brings a complexity that we must solve for our intentions, that is why effort is always required whether it is little or much. Young people require our guidance; pushing them to achieve their goals, no matter how insignificant they may be, is the best help we can give to achieve a certain result.

We can recognize how much effort is required by the level of complexity of the circumstances before them. How can our children know if their effort is enough? As adults we know that what is desired may not always be obtained because of the actual scope and our access. We simply must reward their effort to approve their outcome as positive and favorable.

Motivation.

No one is born knowing how to go about achieving their own results, and children need to be brought up with the culture of effort from a young age. The best incentives through which we get the message of effort to them are didactic games; these test their ability to resolve simple conflicts to strengthen their learning.

Motivating them to take on challenges out of curiosity, with the sole purpose of taking advantage of the experience and the need for research in children, is vital for their full future development. We can focus on their interest in disinterested knowledge as a form of intrinsic motivation, which is a way to obtain personal results. Another way of striving is for extrinsic motivation or reward, where the results need not always be material.

The reality of goals.

As parents and guides of our children we teach them to make an effort according to the reality of the proposed goals. We know that a great effort requires a reward to match, serving as a stimulus for further dedication.

It is important not to demand from our children goals that are beyond their reach, their abilities and age, to avoid sowing feelings of frustration or apathy. Sometimes we are given the task of suggesting them, but the ideal is that they propose real goals from their own personal motivation.

To value the effort.

Through the education of effort it is important to recognize when our children are truly involved and committed to the result. Valuing the effort they make to achieve their goals helps them develop the power of self-awareness in the impact of their achievements for themselves or for others.

The results do not always tell you how much effort they have put in, as it is often disproportionate to the effort invested. The most relevant part that does represent a victory for young people is that, regardless of the outcome, their effort can provide something more valuable to their achievements.

Perseverance.

Not everything is easily achieved, or at least the goals of great value; within the tools we use we must instill perseverance. Not all the plans or efforts we make have the expected result, therefore perseverance is required to achieve our aspirations.

Failure can be one of the main reasons why goals are discarded or abandoned. Perseverance as a personal value responds to make all possible attempts for a better result than the previous one. Difficulties during the process behave as small tests to overcome for success, where a better way to solve unforeseen events without getting discouraged is proposed.
