Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 332: How to Rekindle Your Child’s Motivation, with Dr. Ellen Braaten · 27 Jun 2023 podcast

And we don't have that as part of the whole goal setting.

But I think the best way to start with a really unmotivated child is to get them to talk about what are the sorts of things you want to do.

And you might have to start with what makes you happy.

And they might even come back and say, well, nothing.

And then you've got to have a discussion about that.

But let's say they can come up with some things.

Then it's what do you look forward to doing?

You know, what are the sorts of things that make you feel excited?

What do you want to get out of this school year?

What do you want to do after high school?

And to even have questions, even in middle school, about it's not going to be that long before you start high school.

finish high school, where do you see yourself?

And some kids are gonna t talk about college and others aren't.

Even having things talking to them about what kinds of things are hard for you, but you like to do them anyway.

And what are the sorts of things that are easy for you, but you hate doing them.

So those are the sorts of things and they should be part of a family's vocabulary.

Lots of talking about those sorts of things.

What do you hope to accomplish this school year, this season, this week, you know, in your history class, all of those sorts of things are really good ways of starting to think about goals and goal setting.

I just want to mention too that there are times when this kind of demotivated kid needs more than just the sorts of things we've talked about.

And just the behaviors that are of concern are the things, the things that you want to look at and know when you need to reach out for help are constant feelings of low self-esteem, feeling inferior to others, lots.
