Has anyone got any tips to help motivate my 14 yr old son?
He has many talents and is very able but I feel frustrated when he lacks the motivation or belief in himself. He has had CBT to help with this but a lack of self belief and self worth is very hard to change. It's a viscious circle - if he attempted something in spite of his negative thoughts, over time he might begin to value his attempts. If you know what I mean.
One good thing - his ADHD used to stop him from enjoying reading but the first time ever, he has just found the joy in reading. Also, he is a brilliant writer and he is just beginning to make attempts at writing but he loses interest quickly, which in turn, causes him to feel bad about himself even more.
I would appreciate any tips that might help me to help him, thank you.
