You asked...and I answered.

After last week's episode, many of you wrote to me to tell me that you wanted to use the strategies discussed in the last episode, but you're dealing with a VERY unmotivated child or teen.

Well...consider that problem solved!

In today’s episode, I dive deep into 4 strategies for igniting a lasting spark of motivation in your young person - helping them not just survive but thrive in these critical final weeks of the school year. This isn't just about pushing for better grades; it's about empowering your child or teen with confidence, resilience, and a sense of accomplishment.

Join me as I guide you through actionable, engaging strategies that are easy to implement and designed to make an immediate impact:

• [6:08] Quick Overview of Motivation: Understand the crucial differences between internal and external motivation, and why knowing these can change how you approach motivating your young person.
• [13:00] Strategy #1: Strategize Together on What Needs To Be Done: Learn how collaborating with your child or teen on a game plan can make them feel invested and motivated.

And for those looking to dive even deeper, I’ve created 'The Comeback Kid Masterclass' – a comprehensive, two-hour course designed to provide you with all the tools you need to help your young person end the year on a high note. This masterclass includes bite-sized, enjoyable videos and personalized worksheets tailored to your family's needs.
