[quote=Anonymous]What do you do for a child with zero motivation. I mean, he literally has said to me, "Mom, if I can get a C with hardly any work, I'm comfortable getting a C if I have to work hard to get a B or an A, it's just not worth it." We are not talking about a child who can't achieve. He's gifted. He suffers from ADHD and sensory challenges. He has been dx by one psychiatrist as having ASD / Aspergers but the rest of the professionals we saw said he doesn't have ASD but does have ADHD. I have written about this so many times before with no conclusive or helpful answer. But I hope that somebody has a child like mine and can offer some help as to how to motivate such children. I have been told to use extrinsic motivation. He likes device time so we use that as rewards for completing work. However, when is he going to learn how to intrinsically motivate himself? [/quote]
