Teachers and Coaches - Consider Self Esteem Boosters for Your Kids

2007-07-17T12:02:00.000-07:00

As a teacher or coach, you've seen it: a child or two in your class or on your team that you have a hard time reaching; you know these kids have the potential to be winners but they either don't have the self esteem or the motivation to be a great student or team player.

A good way to boost self esteem is to use medals, trophies and other forms of recognition. A child that may not come in a winner in a race will certainly shine with pride if they win a medal for "Trying Hardest" or "Best Effort" or even "Most Improved Player". All of these are accomplishments worth being proud of. You can use blank medals and have them engraved with phrases relevant to your individual needs.

A good idea to further make the giving of an award or medal even more special is to have a special get together where you call the children that are receiving awards up and let them get their award in front of everyone. Whether you choose a trophy they can proudly display on their shelf or a medal to hang around their necks at the ceremony and later displayed proudly in their homes, it's a great way to give a kid a self esteem boost.

Part of participating in sports and class is to realize not everyone be a winner every single time, but good efforts should always be rewarded.

Summertime Awards to Motivate Young Readers

2007-07-11T13:46:00.000-07:00

As you're well aware, it can be difficult to motivate children to want to read and unfortunately, reading just like any other activity, requires practice to become good at it. The more a child reads, the more he or she learns to comprehend what they read and interpret it. These are the building block skills for full reading comprehension. Since we live in a more digital world than ever, there is a constant source of input for kids from television, computers, Ipods, video games and more. All of these things can distract your child from learning to read better and if you're willing, there are some creative ways parents can get their child to love reading books.

Capitalize on Competitive Natures
Most children have a naturally competitive streak. You can use this trait to motivate most kids to read. Make it a contest to read a book and then give an oral report to yourself or simply talk about the book, this lets you know how much the child is actually comprehending what he or she reads.

Give the Child Some Choices
Wuthering Heights is a classic book but most kids will find it oppressively boring. Choice age appropriate books and let your child have some say in the choice. Your child will be much more likely to read books that he has had a say in choosing rather than a stack of books that are considered "classics" or books you chose because you thought they looked interesting.

Rewards Efforts
A great reward would be to give your child a medal or even a small trophy to show off their accomplishments for their academic achievements in reading. There are also other ways to show your child how proud you are, include a gift certificate to their favorite store or even better - a gift certificate to a local book store to stock up on more reading material!

Use rewards as a means of getting your kids interested in reading. If your child continues to have difficulty in reading or comprehension, rule out problems such as eyesight or dyslexia. By addressing any cognitive problems early on and with continued positive reinforcement; your child will develop a love of reading that will continue the rest of their lives.

Why not let the world know what you've proudly accomplished in life? A trophy or an award is an indication that you've gone beyond the limits and set a mark or standard for others to admire and accomplish. Whether it's a graduation, an award or recognition, or a hard-earned victory, the best way to celebrate it for a lifetime is with a trophy or plaque that speaks volumes about you. And the best part is, you get to choose the style, size, and price of the gift for the person or occasion of choice. Personalizing a gift creates meaning that is ten-fold, and whether it's for the traveler, the bridesmaid, or the business professional, it's a gift that immediately sets you apart as important.
