Motivation and learning begin as early as infancy. We are driven to get results based on what behaviors seem to achieve the best outcome. In childhood, we see the drive for motivation emerging in many areas. Children want to please the important adults in their lives.

There are many factors that contribute to whether a child maintains that motivation.
