How do you keep your kids motivated or other skills ?

Like Bianca said, few simple things you can note to help motivate your child can be: - to embrace his/her imperfection - create fun way of doing things - have meaningful conversations with you. It'll make him look upon what you teach - reward - for every nice thing or nicely done thing. It'll help motivate to great extent. Also I liked @Chloe's Goal contract. It's something I never thought of. This might allow the kid to achieve some thing in any manner, which can bring out his/her creative mind
