[quote=Anonymous]Your kid might be depressed. There might be something that happened that caused teen to drop all these activities. Getting the kid to re-engage in life is important, but not in a tyrannical way. i.e. "Larlo, I understand you're growing up and people's interests change as they grow up. You still need to be moving your body and engaging with other people. What two new things can we bring in that you could try?" "Larlo, I've noticed that your grades are down. Are you struggling in hard classes? or have you lost interest in school?" If there is something you know your kid loves to do or eat, try that. It's called behavioral activation - trying to help them remember things they like/love. Try to be curious not condemning "(My kid is a quitter" ). You might get some answers as to what kind of support your kid needs. Don't give up on the kid or lead with anger. Kid might be really struggling.[/quote]
