Preschool is not easy for every child. Some activities are hard, such as cutting or coloring for a child who has not developed fine motor skills, or listening to a book during large group time for a child who is not proficient in English.

Whatever you call it, the goal is to help a child engage in learning. Check out our "motivation matters" visual to see how adults use this same strategy to tackle chores we are not excited about doing!
