MOTIVATING   YOUR

RELUCTANT   STUDENTS

That can be such a difficult job on the student and the teacher both at the same time.  Your student has been given instructions that you know they understand, especially with this particular individual because you know you have restated the instructions individually to them and perhaps even helped them get started.  Though as soon as you leave their space they quit working.  That lack of will-power, motivation, willingness to put forth effort by themself is so lacking.  You have to work on that motivation so hard with these students and when you can break that barrier it is such a welcoming sigh of success for you and the child.  It is time for a "happy dance".
