The Most Important Thing to Start with When Nothing Motivates Them with Debbie
About this episode
Feeling frustrated and discouraged when your efforts to motivate your neurodivergent child, teen, or young adult fall flat?
We all want to support our young people in being motivated to do the things that will help them be more successful and happy.
But often our efforts to help just lead to frustration, disconnect, and negative spirals.
In this episode, I share the most important thing to start with when nothing you've tried is working. And the best part is it helps you build your relationship in the process.
