[QUOTE="Frazzledmom, post: 400494"] Motivation is such an impossible thing. I've worked with teenagers for 27 years and I know in my heart AND head that nothing can motivate them unless they truly want to be motivated. It's easier to accept in other kids that's for sure. When it's my own son it eats at me until I'm going crazy. We have also tried everything. He used to be motivated, to watch it disappear is so discouraging and makes me feel helpless. No advice here (accept, actually, for OTHER kids, the no screens until homework is done usually works!) just sympathy. -Lynn [/QUOTE]
