It would not be an exaggeration if we consider inspiration and motivation to be one of the important factors in shaping the success of all.

Coming on to the student’s perspective it is their parents, mentors and elders who are their main source of inspiration and motivation.

It is not always easy to change a student’s life, and this is the reason why it takes great teacher to do this. It is usually noticed that when students enter the school premises in the morning their mind is not fully prepared to accept what the teachers would teach. The situation then really becomes a big question within the teachers as how to unlock the blockages and prejudices that has deep down matured in students mind and further make them accept the classroom teaching.

A great teacher therefore needs to make the learning as fun and stimulating. The ambience of the Classrooms should be made interesting and welcoming for the students. An exciting classroom environment for learning will hold students fascination and students learn best and to the fullest when the atmosphere is both challenging and interesting.

Inspiring students is vital and should not only be done by their educators but also should be done by their Parents. Parents these days have so high expectation from their children that they often forget that it is their child whom they have nurtured and brought up from a tender age to this age of competition. The level of competition is so much deep down embedded within the parent’s mind that they do not think of anything other than their Child as the Winner in Core Academics only. The whole scenario changes abruptly when situation go a little haywire and the child doesn’t meet their expectation.  Parents become morose and the same feeling is transmitted to the child.

Motivation and Inspiration is very obvious and can also take many forms, from helping a student through the academic year and their short-term goals, to guiding them towards their future career.

As Head-Academics at Strategum Eduserve, I believe that each child is the noblest creation of god and therefore should be cared, loved, nurtured by their parents, mentors and other elderly members with utmost care so as to prepare them for the leadership roles in a globalized society without compromising on the universal.

Here are few suggestions and guidelines which would help certainly help all the Parents, Mentors and Elders to understand, inspire and motivate children /students –

• Should never ever curse, offend and demoralize a student for what he/she could not achieve. Rather make it a point to appreciate him/her for all the small achievements that you observe in the due course of time.
• All children do have their self respect. Thus we should not ever try to shake their self respect by offending them in public.
• We should be with children/ students in their hard times and should always motivate and inspire them and make them believe that they can learn from their mistakes.
• We as elders often forget our weaknesses but never cease to point out the weakness of our children / students. It is very important for us to realize that they are our loved children and like us they do have some weaknesses. Instead of pointing out we should try to work together and try transforming their weaknesses into strength.
• Should always make the children/students feel that we are always there for them in their worries.
• Should spend quality time with children/students, understand them and their emotions and sentiments and value them
• Should involve children/students to the maximum in our works so that they understand to shoulder responsibilities when required.
• Last but not the least make them feel THAT THEY ARE SPECIAL FOR US AND OUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THEM

“As often said that it is always the prayer which works better than medicine for any injury, so is inspiration and motivation which works as prayer and blessing for any child/student in achieving success”
