The short answer
Children keep going when they feel they are getting better, when someone they love notices, and when it is part of the day. Small wins, a grandparent listening on a video call, and a fixed time each day work better than sweets or screen-time rewards.
What works
What to avoid
- Comparing with siblings or cousins
- Big rewards that become the point
- Using the Quran as a punishment
Quick questions
Are reward charts okay?
Small ones, yes. Keep the focus on the effort and the progress, not the prize.
