Listen "#341: Relevance Equals Motivation"
Episode Synopsis
When your son lacks motivation, show him the relevance. Boys are biologically wired to be task-oriented and one-track minded. They also have trouble engaging when there is nothing at stake or they don’t see the value. That’s why some vocations tend to favor one gender over another.Any time your son seems to lack motivation– whether that’s for cleaning his room, being nice to his sister, or paying attention in math class– it’s possible he feels like those things just aren’t important. Take him out for a drive and, together, discuss whatever task he is struggling with. Give examples from your own life about how God used something you didn’t think was relevant to pave the way to your future. Show him the relevance, and you’ll probably spark some motivation. To learn about the five critical needs of boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
