Like he's slower than everybody else in simple things like putting on his shoes, brushing his teeth in the morning.

It just life takes longer.

And if life takes longer when we're talking about a morning activity, it's gonna take longer when we talk about a lifetime.

And that's okay.

So I find that what happens with kids, a lot of kids actually with low motivation or

who couldn't care less, but particularly kids with processing speed, they start even in middle and high school to look like unmotivated kids because they look at the future and they say, I'm not gonna be ready for the life that you seem to think I need right now.

And what you're saying is at 18, I'm gonna have to go to college when I can barely manage the sorts of tasks you're asking me to do now in A

And so they show us, they don't know, we don't even know, but they show us that they're not prepared by not doing things, by saying, I can't do what you're asking me to do.

And that's basically what an unmotivated person looks like.

Nobody likes being lazy unless we're really talking

talking about sitting by a pool on vacation.

It's just no one likes it.

We don't, it's not something that makes us happy.

So yeah, so the kids with slow processing speed, they look a little bit unmotivated just by their characteristics.

And so they kind of grow into this thing that everyone expects them to be or look like.

Sure.

So I developed this because I was having trouble getting a good framework for how do we conceptualize motivation and then what do we do?

So the parenting app stands for three different areas: aptitude, pleasure, and practice.
