Motivating Young People to Learn

It’s a question continually on the minds of adults—how do we motivate young people to learn? Learning in so many ways equates to living. A person who is motivated to learn is often a person who is engaged, passionate and living a fuller life. As adults, we need to do everything we can to foster young people’s natural love of learning.

One easy way to encourage learning is to turn everyday events into learning activities. How many signs can you find with a letter “T” as we drive down the road? Do you think you’d make the same choice as the character in the book you’re reading? How much paint do you need to cover the square foot of your room? We can show by our questions that learning is not just for school, it’s for life. Check out this article with other great tips on how to motivate the young person in your life.
