Helping Kids Achieve Their Best is a practical guide to motivating younger and older learners across the globe. The book explores why some students are easier to motivate than others and why students lose motivation, as well as outlining strategies that teachers can use in the classroom and that parents can use at home.

Comprehensively updated, this second edition includes a new chapter on student achievement emotion. Throughout the text, each chapter includes a variety of examples and research-based tools that can be put into action immediately, along with vignettes, question points, action stations, and recommended readings, which help educators apply the suggested approaches in their own contexts. The book is hands on and interactive, inviting readers to recall challenges they have faced in their own teaching or parenting experiences and to apply what they have learned to better understand and cope with these challenges more effectively.

This book is an essential resource for pre- and in-service teachers, as well as parents who aspire to motivate their children and help them achieve their best.
