Motivating Ambition
Encourage your children to strive for academic excellence and remind them of the benefits of knowledge … that it is a path to God's pleasure and to job and financial stability.
Motivate them with recognition and gifts upon success, for people are naturally inclined to love praise and commendation, and a gift serves as a reward for the student's effort in their studies and performance.
Appreciating efforts encourages students to persevere and learn more, and makes them feel that their efforts have not been in vain, and it led them success.
And don't forget to teach them sincerity towards God, for knowledge is a good thing that benefits people and helps in seeking the Hereafter by purifying one's intentions.
