[quote=Anonymous]That’s the thing with intrinsic motivation, right? You can’t spark it for someone else. One think I have become more comfortable with over time is knowing that if my kid CAN do hard things in any sphere of his life he’ll be able to transfer that ability to work hard to something new when he cares enough. He’s never had the intrinsic drive for schoolwork that I wanted for him. He has learning disabilities and school is just such a grind. But he is off to college in the fall and he’s a recruited athlete. He works hard every day (and goofs off a lot too. He’s a teen boy). I recommend reading The Self Driven child. It helps you think through motivation and our role with kids who dislike all schoolwork. It’s rough, but she’ll do well. That hike tells you so.[/quote]
