FAMILY RESOURCES: Dr. Damour on Motivation in Teens

Date:03/18/2626
Reading Time: 1 minute

Untangling Family Life with Dr. Lisa Damour: As we near the end of the school year, Dr. Damour guides us through helping our teens when they are lacking motivation to finish in this 18-minute video: Helping Teens Find Motivation. In high school, teens are required to try “all the things” – all the subjects, all the programming, etc., – even if they aren’t really interested in it. This can be really difficult for them (and it’s totally understandable!) and as parents we can help our students harness both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation in order to get things done!
