Internal- Achievement Motivation
Achievement Motivation, is when a child is motivated to do well in school.
I think that this is one that is often shoved aside and people don’t think much of. For me, growing up this was very important, I needed to be motivated to do my work. All I could think of was how bad I was doing, I was going to fail, I am no good at school why bother.
My family caught on quickly that I needed to be reminded that there are things I am good at, and that I am good at school, I just learn different. I thought for a while that that was just an excuse, but it wasn’t. I do learn different. We need to be willing to help those that learn different and be willing to encourage them to keep doing better and better, and to not give up. It isn’t easy, but they can do it.
