How to get a child to try
Unmotivated kids aren't lazy, they just need a push

November 3, 2007

BY TRAVEY WONG BRIGGS

USA TODAY

Richard Lavoie is widely known for a popular PBS video and workshops that show teachers what school is really like for struggling kids. A special-educator for more than 30 years, he has written "The Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning On the Tuned-Out Child" (Touchstone, $24.95).

QUESTION: You say that when you started studying motivation, you discovered that what you thought about it wasn't really true. Like what?

ANSWER: Well, I used to -- and many teachers do -- brand kids as lazy. I thought they just weren't trying, whereas now I realize that's really something we call "learned helplessness." When a child faces failure enough times, he begins to feel he's not going to succeed and doesn't see any sense in investing himself. Every child hits this sort of motivation brick wall.

Q: What can parents do if a child is struggling in school?

A: You need to collaborate with the school. ... Don't wait until the report card comes to sit down and talk with the child. Help them make the connection between what they're learning in school and what's happening in the world.

But the most important thing parents and teachers need to do is to keep in mind the balance between ... support and challenge. You need to constantly challenge kids. But you need to give them the support to meet those challenges.

Q: You challenge the wisdom of some very common practices, such as reward systems, competition and punishment. Is it realistic to get rid of all of this?

A: Not to get rid of it, not at all, but to realize that it doesn't work for all kids. A good example is competition. The reality is, the only person motivated by competition is the person who thinks he has a chance of winning.

Rewards don't work, either, if the child is having difficulty. All reward systems are based on the concept that the child can do it, he just chooses not to.

Punishment is just a totally ineffective way to motivate kids. To take the child's favorite thing, whether it be a soccer ball or a skateboard, and take it away from him when he's bad, that's just poor human relations.

Q: You write about different motivational forces, manifesting themselves in different degrees in different people. What about an elementary teacher with 25 kids, or a high school teacher with 150 kids a day?

A: I certainly would not expect every teacher to approach every child differently.

You need to come up with a wide variety of motivational techniques so that you hit each of those kinds of kids at different times, in different places. You ... can't tailor every ... lesson for 35 kids in your class, but you can use four to five techniques that are going to catch pretty much all of those kids.

Q: Does motivating kids get harder or easier as they age?

A: It probably gets more difficult. I've never known a 5-year-old who hasn't been eager to get on the school bus and go to school and do like his brothers and sisters did. And it begins to wane as the child begins to confront more failure and challenge. The irony is that high school teachers particularly, and parents of high school kids, need to be more skilled at motivating, and yet it's the high school teacher who often says, "It's not my job."

These kids don't come with batteries included, and you need to put those batteries in. I had a teacher say to me one time, "I taught it to him, but he didn't learn it." I said, "That's like a salesman saying to his boss, 'I sold it to him, but he didn't buy it.' " I think that, particularly at the upper school level, we assume that the kid's going to come in the door totally motivated and sit there and learn, and it simply isn't true.
