[quote=Anonymous]People generally respond to incentives. Of course there are exceptions - severe mental health issues like schizophrenia. But if too enabling an environment is provided to kids with somewhat typical mental health struggles - depression, anxiety etc. - then parents can encourage a "failure to thrive". I think OP's approach of providing therapy but insisting that they work is generally the right one. Of course, I don't envy anyone facing this situation. And I think the advice to take a step back and listen too - and engage with - our kids is right. We want them to be productive members of society. That doesn't mean that they have to be getting into top 25 schools and becoming management consultants. [/quote]
