I often hear parents say, “I just wish my teen was more motivated.” But motivation isn’t something we can give them, it’s something they have to discover within themselves.
The truth is, many teens aren’t unmotivated; they’re just uninspired. They don’t see how what they’re doing connects to who they want to become. When that connection is missing, even the most talented kid will feel stuck.
