Teaching kids anything takes a lot of work. You can not force a child to like doing things and expect them to continue when you are not around. It can also push them away from the goals you have set. Teaching children works best if they enjoy being there. Turning the task into a series of games or simple challenges makes it fun and they will strive harder. If it is not fun they will get bored and will stop trying. Using humor while teaching also works, but you can not let the humor take over. It takes a lot of work to teach children to think and strive. It is also worth it to you, the child and society.
