Motivating children is easy when you understand what they desire.
The most desired rewards are different for different kinds of people. An Olympic competitor is after a gold metal. A businessman is looking to maximize profits. I am convinced, it is the tummy that is the key to a young child’s heart.
Although any kind of treat could be used, I prefer sprinkles because they are tasty, small and fun. These Magic Motivators provide an immediate reward that satisfies your children’s sweet tooth without the dreaded sugar high and without spoiling their appetites. Sprinkles add excitement because children associate them with parties and special occasions. They are definitely memory makers. Your children will jump for joy when they see you pull out a bag of sprinkles. Never mind that they are going to be doing the same copy-work or memory verse for the millionth time – Sprinkles make learning fun every time!

Yes, my boys LOVE sprinkles!
yes, problems arise when your child is unmotivatable (is that a word?). I can’t seem to find my son’s motivation at all. He’s highly flexible and willing to forgo rewards to play. we’ve done small rewards, larger rewards, ultimately, he just does what he wants. Thankfully, overall, he’s a good kid, but I worry when he gets older.
Thanks for stopping by. Here’s a little post on my boy: 100lbcountdown
