Bright Kids Who Couldn’t Care Less How to Rekindle Your Child’s Motivation – (PDF/EPUB Version)

“He’s so smart, but he’s no longer interested in school–or any ‘offline’ activities.” “She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around.” “My kid has turned into such a slacker!” Sound familiar? If you’re wondering how your bright, motivated little kid became such an unmotivated adolescent, you’re not alone. Fortunately, help is at hand! In this compassionate guide, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten explains that kids who have lost the will to do anything (other than play video games) need more than simple encouragement or the “right” school, teacher, or coach to get back on track. Instead, Dr. Braaten helps you understand the myriad biological, psychological, and social factors that affect motivation, and get to know your own child’s unique strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits better. Gain vital tools for tackling the motivational problems that are so pervasive today–and build a plan to boost your child’s confidence and engagement in life.
