How I did it: Positive talks - Pep talks - when his exams were nearing - when he would beat himself for wasting time - i wold be positive and say things like what you studied will be asked for the exams - it worked and he has finished his exams and done it very well...
Lessons & tips: Baby steps
Be positive ALL the time - if not possible MOST of the time

Went to his school today…Met all his teachers and was very depressed with hearing what they had to say! But got out of it- decided to talk to him and take up his lessons myself without the tuition help!
Good luck to me!

I need to reassess the situation – talk to my son – give him a minimum of 1 hour to talk to him – when HE is free not when I want it – It gets rushed then and I don’t get what I want to say.
I think I should write it down to get it clear and concise. Hmmn should do that today or tomorrow… latest.

I just went mad at him his morning – And felt miserable afterwards. Planning to sit and have a heart to heart talk with him – coming halfway – and negoiating his study time and play time, And instead of just asking him to study – Sit with him… Phew!

challenge myself more and do this by October itself. That is set him on autopilot – so that he is self motivated to do his own thing. Hmmn. tall order…
I have a three months to go…

I should just let him rest today!

Made a question paper and asked my son to attempt it. Praised him profusely just for making the attempt without evaluating – Told him that it is important just to make an attempt – the result doesn’t matter – I have given myself 10 cheers for this one!!!

check his answer paper that I didnot do last night – Tf he knows that I have spent time checking them and giving hi feedback his motivation will increase.. :)

I have genuinely shown interest in his studies and have succeeded in motivating him to do it regularly – baby steps – He is excited about all that interest generated in his studies and willing to comply. He is motivated even. Well that is for today…
