If You’ve Ever Thought, “Why Can My Child Focus on This — But Not That?”
Maybe screens, games, or favorite activities hold your child’s attention easily — while homework, reading, chores, waiting, or anything difficult becomes a battle.
You may recognize:
“Everything is boring.”
“They give up as soon as something feels hard.”
“Homework always becomes a negotiation.”
“Turning off a screen can change the whole mood.”
“I don’t want to nag or reward everything just to get cooperation.”
These patterns can look like laziness or defiance.
But motivation is shaped by much more than willingness.
This workshop will help you understand what may be happening underneath the behavior — and what to try instead.
What You’ll Learn
In 30 practical minutes, you’ll learn how to:
understand what may be blocking motivation
tell the difference between “won’t” and “can’t right now”
respond when effort, boredom, or frustration triggers resistance
use the Motivation Map to decide what to try next
make small changes that support effort without constant rewards or punishment
Plus: 15 minutes of live Q&A.
