And not just for children. Adults often want to know, "What's in it for me?" as well. <br />@Martha--Great point! Successful children and adults are self-motivated<br />@J.R Nova-thanks for stopping by.Lynne Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788918458763274157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760580232883116615.post-74015284738174244252012-05-06T17:57:56.392-04:002012-05-06T17:57:56.392-04:00Working with kids' natural curiosity and insti...Working with kids' natural curiosity and instilling a love for learning should be the major focus in teaching.

I'm frustrated in settings where the kids have been promised a 'prize' if they participate in art class!<br /><br />The first time I heard of this I was flabbergasted!
