Episode Synopsis

It is possible to boost boys’ motivation.Doing so, though, starts with understanding why so boys are unmotivated. A big part of it is developmental: apathy and an “I don’t care/I don’t wanna” attitude commonly show up around puberty. As boy grow from boyhood to adulthood, they begin to question their priorities, interests, and goals. That’s a good thing! AND, it can be incredibly frustrating for parents and teachers who can’t see the behind-the-scenes work, who only see a once-motivated boy pulling back from previous interests and failing to to complete his homework or chores.Photo by Tima MiroshnichenkoTakeaways:Apparent lack of motivation is common during boys’ tween & teen yearsApproaching boys with understanding is a lot more effective than naggingParents and teachers can boost boys’ motivationREGISTER FOR THIS 3-SESSION SERIES (begins May 6th)CLICK HERE: Boost Boys Motivation: How to Ignite His Spark (Without Nagging or Yelling) iUse coupon code ONBOYS to save $50.https://boysalive.com/boostLinks we mentioned (or should have) in this episode:Adam Price: “He’s Not Lazy” — ON BOYS episodeListener Q & A: Getting Curious & Motivating Boys — ON BOYS episodeMaggie Dent on How to Motivate Boys — ON BOYS episodePassion = Motivation = Learning — Building Boys Bulletin 2-14-22Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
