[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dd will be turning 16 in a month, she’s in 11th grade. She doesn’t want to do any extracurricular, doesnt want to take any AP classes, doesn’t want to join any orgs. If we ask her why, answer is : i dont want to. She doesn’t want to play any sports either but complains she wants to lose weight. We trued therapy and multiple tests , all came back normal. How do you motivate a teen to be more engaged or interested in things? If you ask her what she’s interested in: nothing. All she wants to do is: travel, shopping, tiktok. I put screentime on her phone recently to limit her time online. [/quote] What was her childhood like? Did she have activities and join things? My teen has some ADHD-related motivation challenges, but they still do all the activities we started when they were young. They underperform in some things relative to their potential, but don't just want to do nothing. [/quote]
