Why
is Johnny So Unmotivated To
Do His Best in School?
Are
some kids just plain lazy when it comes to school work? It would
certainly seem that way given the reality of homework assignments
forgotten about, last ditch efforts that involve minimal effort at
best, or grades that don't reflect how smart and capable they
are.
Rarely,
if ever, is low motivation or laziness the primary
cause of such behavior. Rather, lazy, or unmotivated
behavior is almost always a secondary behavior to
deeper issues. The good news is more often than not
deeper issues can be dealt
with.

My son gets decent
grades in school, but it takes him forever to get his work done. He
is not a behavior problem, but is beginning to
feel dumb. Our doctor has told us he doesn't have
ADHD?

Great
Coaches Win Games!
 Everyone
in sports knows this to be true. This is why Husky fans were so
excited when Steve Sarkisian came to Seattle. And it is why
Sarkisian primarily takes the blame himself when they Huskies do
not play well.Just
as coaches win games, the skill of coaching oneself earns success.
Brain research has enabled us to understand that self-coaching is
dependent on a constellation of sub-skills known as executive function
skills. These cognitive functions are located
in the prefrontal cortex and are what enable us to meet
challenges
and accomplish goals. More specifically, they allow us to organize
our behavior over time, help us to decide what activities or tasks
we will pay attention to, and override immediate demands in favor
of longer term goals. Through the use of executive function
skills we
can plan and organize activities, sustain attention, and persist to
complete a task. Simply stated, these skills enable us to regulate
our behavior.
