1. Develop A Positive Relationship With Your Kids

One of the most effective tips to motivate kids to study harder is to foster a positive relationship with them. You will have a much easier time inspiring and motivating your kids if they actually like and admire you.

2. Offer Rewards And Set Conditions

Instead of completely closing the door on your child's requests due to their low school grades, try to offer rewards and set some conditions instead. "So start saying things like, 'When you finish studying you are welcome to go to Gavin's house,'" Empowering Parents advises.

3. Identify The Source Of The Problem

Your child will never perform well in school if the main source of his study problems is not eliminated. Some kids do poorly in school due to bullying, poor teaching habits from the teachers, addiction to games and other forms of entertainment, family problems and many more. Establish an honest and open relationship with your child.

4. Constant Communication With Teachers

One of the most effective tips to motivate kids to study harder is by constantly communicating and cooperating with the school teachers. "Parent-teacher interviews are a great opportunity to communicate with your child's teacher and hear how your child is tracking academically and socially relative to their classmates," 3p Learning explains. "However, they are also a great way to discuss any troubles or questions you may have regarding your child."
