[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]

Just going off of the losing weight. I would definitely convince if not, make her find something fitness wise. I am a big believer now that movement does alot to the soul in this case the brain as well. 
My DD has been working with Adriana at Neural Movement for a year and half. Complete change in not just her body wise but at home. Gave her the convince not only to lose weight but also motivation of that feel good do good phrase. She has a part time now and recently completed and finally dismissed out of an alternative school. I know you said your DD doesn’t have anything and test came back normal but finding and having a gate way of not a school resource but a reach to do something for herself and actually doing it. And sometimes still holding her hand and making/assisting her to do it for the better at her age is what the hard part. [/quote]
