Default Re: How do you motivate your kids?

I homeschool my sons and this is a problem with my eldest sometimes. I use appropriate praise. Not saying "Oh, you are so wonderful! What a super duper square!" (or whatever). I point out what good qualities were necessary to make that perfect square and explain why they are important in life. He gets the idea that studying actually teaches something he wants to know.
