Hello! Maybe you can set small little goals with them every week. Give them a small reward if they meet their goals.

Experts say there are various ways to encourage a child to be self-motivated, and this motivation could be applied to studying, helping someone, or even keeping at a hobby.

There are also different levels of motivation. Ideally, a child should be motivated by internal factors – for instance, the innate desire to do a task well.

Dangling carrots like external rewards may yield results faster, but a child motivated by external factors may be prompted to do a task only if a reward is dangled, or if there is a threat of punishment.

Once that external factor is removed, the motivation will drop as well.
Understanding his strengths, personality, interests and learning style is critical to thinking of ways to motivate him.

I agree that the child should be motivated by internal and not external factors. Will have to figure a way to get my sister to find the importance of studying!
