No more arguing, punishments, or bribes. Help your child get motivated--and watch them soar!
You're at your wits' end. Again. Your teen is bright, savvy, and capable--and completely unmotivated. Whether it's too much screen time, pandemic-induced resignation, or disillusionment at the state of the world, so many kids recently seem to have lost the passion to create, excel, engage, and do. What you need, for them and you, is a teen expert--a fresh voice to ask the right questions, make powerful suggestions, and offer proven techniques for getting your teen back in the game and focused on a future of fulfillment, success, purpose, and enjoyment.
Melanie McNally is that expert, and she'll help you and your teen conquer whatever's been keeping them down and holding them back. Presented in simple steps, this book breaks down the three major components of motivation:
- Help your teen ignite their creativity and passion
- Work with your teen to increase their endurance and effort
- Encourage your teen to envision and set worthy and attainable milestones
Small changes can have huge impacts--the kind that inspire confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and the desire to keep going, keep doing, and stay the course. If you're looking to motivate your teen and set the stage for success and happiness, this book can help you get started today.
