Positive expectations provide motivation

The truth is, children usually do what their families expect of them. That's why having high expectations for your child is so important. Research shows that families' high expectations can motivate students to do well in school. On the other hand, when families say things like "You'll never amount to anything," the children are likely to do that, too. Make it clear you are counting on seeing your child's best effort to learn, think, behave and be kind.
