10 Steps to Motivation

Sep 22 | 10 Steps to Motivation

We posted a cartoon on http://www.timmystutor.com about report cards and motivating the child to make the grade. In our recent cartoon Timmy has made a bet that he would make straight A's and his dad would have to have a goofy haircut. This was enough to motivate Timmy to study and make the grade so he could win the bet! Enjoy our cartoon....please!
