When asking "What motivates your child?" people are usually interested in understanding what drives a child’s behavior, interests, and efforts. Motivation can come from various sources, such as:
- Intrinsic motivation: The child enjoys the activity for its own sake, like playing a game because it’s fun or learning because they are curious.
- Extrinsic motivation: The child is motivated by external rewards or recognition, such as praise, prizes, or good grades.
- Social motivation: The child is motivated by wanting to connect with others, please parents or teachers, or gain approval from peers.
- Achievement motivation: The child is driven by challenges and the desire to succeed or improve skills.
- Interest and passion: Specific subjects, hobbies, or activities that the child finds naturally engaging.
