Hello I have a question and request for advice . How do I motivate a lazy child ? I have teens who are just so unmotivated and I am extremely frustrated. I have taken technology given technology, assigned chores, unassigned chores, giving consequences given praise giving rewards. I just cannot seem to get these children motivated and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. We pray together we have family time we watch movies together. We go on outings. We participate in sporting events. I’m the president literally of their sporting event boosters. I just cannot motivate them to be productive and proactive in their own lives. I just feel like I want them to have a great life more than they want it , I want them to be successful more than they want to be successful. I just want them to be amazing, but I don’t feel they want the same thing and I’m drained!
