Motivation

As a parent you find that each of your children is motivated in different ways. This weekend we found something that really motivated Levi.
Everyday Levi is supposed to read for at least 15 minutes a day. That is about 450 minutes a month. The last two months we found that he had read about 700 minutes per month. I asked him if he thought he could 1,000 minutes during the month of May. I told him that if he met that goal that we would take him to Dairy Queen. I guess that’s all he needed to hear because on Saturday he read for 150 minutes! That is a combination of him reading to himself and us reading to him.
I guess Dairy Queen is very motivating to a first-grader.
