Family Motivation Paragraph 3

Children may also reinforce inspiration within the family. When a child is praised for their good judgment, their education, and even their sportsmanship; a parent fills itself with pride, joy, and motivation. Unfortunately sometimes the parents can’t do much for themselves. For example immigrant parents, they don’t have the language or residential status to become successful but their child’s success motivates them to life. A recent study about immigrant mothers show that, “[...] though they lack an extensive academic background, which places their children at risk for low education, their positive attitude manifested in daily pro-educational behaviors overcomes their low education level because they both motivate their children to pursue academic success and participate in their children’s learning.” (Early Childhood Education Journal; Apr2007, Vol. 34 Issue 5, p351-356, 6p, 3 charts, 2 graphs) The motivation comes from the child’s strength. When a parent sees this, they elevate themselves to becoming a greater person for their child.

In reality motivation is a cycle for both the parents and their children. When a child reaches a goal they not only motivate themselves but they motivate their parents. They do so socially, in school, and in sports. With that said a parents motivation is definitely a child’s success.
