#244: What To Do About Your “Lazy And Unmotivated” Teenager (That Actually Works)
Today I'm going to share why your teenager seems so lazy and unmotivated, and what you can actually do about it that won't backfire.
I'll explain what's happening in that unmotivated brain of theirs and why punishment, rewards, and nagging to get them to do their homework or study are only making things worse.
Plus, I'll walk you through Dr. Adam Price's (author of "He's Not Lazy") proven 8-step framework for helping unmotivated teens develop internal drive.
Listen to learn how to motivate your teenager without destroying your parent-teen relationship.
