Kids: How can I keep my kids motivated?

Kids often throw us into the space where are no boundaries. It is a space where a person feels free to do what he wants to do and doesn’t care what others think or that it should be just like this and not otherwise. I am talking about inner freedom. When a person satisfies his inner needs, feels uplifted inside, his motivation grows and he is satisfied with himself.

TRY NOT TO KILL YOUR INNER CHILD

We adults usually have lost the desire to breathe widely, stretch our hands to the sun and take everything we can from life. The secret of staying forever young is simple: try not to kill your inner child. Your parents, your school, teachers, lots of people will try to do that. Because the system needs individuals who obey. They don’t need personalities. Stay the person you are and never forget who you are or who you were before adults stuffed you with their irrelevant things.

KIDS HAVE MOTIVATION TO EXPLORE THE WORLD

Most people say that if a child runs, climbs, screams, doesn’t greet with adults, then he is uneducated. It is important for polite and educated people to know that if kids doesn’t run, doesn’t shout, doesn’t climb, but only sits and acts very polite, it is possible that their motivation to know the world, to improve, to grow, to spread his creativity is equal to zero.

WE MUST UNDERSTAND KIDS NEEDS

The kids doesn’t have to be calm. If you think so, you are wrong. You need to allow the kids to unfold, understand their needs and allow them to be met. Kids can be wild, mischievous, but if they’re happy at the time, it doesn’t matter at all, that they don’t greet with everyone. Their heads are just full of different thoughts, and their eyes see so many new things every second, that a variety of new thoughts arise in their little heads, desires, ideas. So the greeting with adults can seem such an insignificant thing for kids and we adults make an elephant out of a fly. Kids should want to behave nicely themselves. Do you think the child needs to be polite and obedient? And if the child is rude, then apparently his mother is not educating him.

KIDS CURIOSITY AND DESIRE TO EXPLORE THINGS

How do you feel when you come in to a messy room of your child? This is just your choice: you can shout, embarrass, negotiate or leave, ignore and forget. Kids don’t want to annoy their parents when they throw things away and makes room messy.

Kids are just born with great motivation and curiosity and have a great desire to explore all things. And if that annoys you, it’s not about the child, it’s about you. What is more important: outside or inside? Do not allow to explore, then  room will stay clean and the child will be very educated, or however it is better to allow to explore and stimulate curiosity and motivation?
