Motivation
Does your teen seem completely Unmotivated? For parents of teens, the refrains of, "whatever", and "I don't care" can become all to familiar.
For me Teens can also be called "Generation why" because they always want to know, "Why am i doing this? And the answer from you as a Parent can't be "Because i told you so". There has to be something within your child that pushes him past the incoveniences, the shortcomings, and the hiccups that will, without question, arise when he undertakes something that's challenging.
If you're the parent of a teen, you know how much they like to debate and question things. Here's something that I have come to understand from personal experience as a teen. When they finally understand how something benefits them, They will do it long term. If the reason your child does something is only because it's important to you, that is short term motivation and that will end.
The reason also needs to be important to your child. If your daughter is making good grades only because she wants to make you happy, eventually that's going to stop. She needs to have a personal reason WHY. Her personal reason can be that when you do a good job at something difficult, you have a sense of accomplishment. Feeling sense of accomplishment is worth the effort it takes to experince it.
At last I want to say......
I personally find that when you surround yourself with people who are doing what you want to do, it Inspires you. You realize that they are just people, they're not super human. They made some Mistakes and had some roadblocks but they kept going and they are doing what they LOVEE. It makes you think, "WOW, this is possible, If this guy did it, why can't i?"
I would also like to Thank my friend and a Superb content writer Vishwapriya for sharing her share of experiences, Which helped me a lot to come up with this article......... You really are a lifesaver and an intellectual being.... :)...... HOPE U LIKE IT.......
