If You are Struggling With an Unmotivated Child Then You Need A Better Way- Today!
Anyone who has ever raised children knows that parenting is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. It seems as though everyone has an opinion about how children should be disciplined and motivated, but very few of the people who are giving advice have ever actually raised children of their own. Moreover, it is more difficult to motivate your child now than ever before. There are more and more influences that pull children and teens further and further from the morals and values that their parents are trying to instill. From video games to MTV to fashion magazines, it seems as though everything in society today is trying to undermine parents and their values. Because of this, there are more unmotivated children and teenagers than ever before, and effective parenting has become increasingly difficult.
In addition, today’s families are more complicated than ever. With divorces, remarriages, and domestic partnership situations, many families have complex and varied relationships. In addition, many of today’s parents did not grow up with healthy families so they do not know how a healthy family looks or functions. All of these influences leave many parents wondering if they have any influence at all with their children or teenagers.
Fortunately, help is on the way! There are an increasing number of families and professionals who are determined to raise their families their way and are pushing back against the negative influences that attempt to discredit their parenting. Nigel Lane, the author of A Better Way: 101 Practical Ways to Motivate Your Child, is one such professional. He has spent his career working with young people and their families, as well as working with his wife to raise their own children. This hands-on parenting experience means that he has written A Better Way with the perspective of someone who has done the difficult and challenging work of parenting both children and teenagers as well as working with troubled or unmotivated children.

If you have been struggling with an unmotivated student who just does not seem to care about doing well in school or participating in life at home, then A Better Way: 101 Practical Ways to Motivate Your Child will help you to get through to unmotivated children or teenagers. Let’s face it. Many unmotivated students just do not see the point of doing well in school. They feel that their teachers and parents are old-fashioned, and that their classes are not relevant to the reality that they live in. They do not see how school is going to benefit them in the long run. They may not care about getting into college or beginning a career. Unfortunately, many teenagers mistakenly think that they will be able to make enough to survive working at a low-end job. They have no goals and no idea of what they want to do when they get out of school.
When it comes to education today the stakes are higher than ever. There are more tests to pass including state-administered standardized tests. The competition to get into college is more intense than ever before, and students feel as though they are constantly being pressured to study harder and excel. The school day continues to get longer and longer, and teachers are often under intense pressure to have their students succeed. Besides this, there are more students than ever being diagnosed with ADHD or learning disabilities and teachers are often too overwhelmed to provide individual attention. For a struggling or unmotivated student the extreme pressure can be overwhelming enough to make them want to quit, especially if they do not see how doing well in school will benefit them once they are adults. Unfortunately, being unsuccessful or dropping out of school has serious consequences. A Better Way encourages you to turn your unmotivated student around by showing him or her the actual monetary benefits of finishing high school and going on to college or a vocational program. For the parents of an unmotivated student who struggles in school, A Better Way is full of even more practical and useful parenting advice that will help you to help your child. You will find out:
- How to motivate children who have learning disabilities as well as those who are gifted
- Ways of working effectively with your child’s school
- How to overcome test stress
- Practical ways to encourage reading
If you have one or more unmotivated children who are struggling in school or in life, then A Better Way: 101 Practical Ways to Motivate Your Child will help you to get your child back on the path to success and happiness. Many teenagers have trouble envisioning their future or understanding how to get there. Because of all of the negativity that surrounds them they feel as though they will never accomplish anything of significance. They do not understand how to set goals for themselves or make a plan for achieving them. These are important life skills, and not understanding them puts your teens at a disadvantage in life. At the same time, many parents struggle with helping their unmotivated children to take on responsibility and prepare to become adults. If you are parenting a child or teen who does not seem to know what he or she wants out of life or how to get it, then you need A Better Way!

- 3 steps for building resiliency and the ability to persevere

In this day and age more children than ever are being diagnosed with ADHD or other disabilities at younger and younger ages. Many of the children who are diagnosed with ADHD are prescribed medications that are supposed to help them do better in school. However, they are often not taught the coping skills that will enable them to effectively change their own behavior. In general, more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD and ultimately begin taking medication to help them focus and concentrate during school. There are a wide variety of reasons for this, but it is undeniable that the percentage of children who take some sort of behavior-modifying medication has increased dramatically in the past five to ten years. Some children begin taking medication due to parent concerns while other children begin taking it due to their teachers’ concerns about their behavior. Regardless of the reason, many children and teenagers who take medications for ADHD have trouble in school and at home. They may be reluctant to help at home or work hard at school. Children with ADHD can be difficult to discipline and have trouble with completing tasks. These children truly present a parenting challenge. Fortunately, A Better Way: 101 Practical Ways to Motivate Your Child can help you to get through to your child or teenager who is struggling with ADHD.
If you are parenting an unmotivated student who has been diagnosed with ADHD or another disability, then you need to know that A Better Way can help you too! Nigel Lane, the author of this book, has worked with many unmotivated students who have also been diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities. The tips in this book are designed to work for unmotivated children and teens with a wide range of ages and ability levels. However, A Better Way contains tips that are specifically geared towards children who have ADHD or different learning styles. Some of the information that is crucial for the parent of a child with learning disabilities includes:
- Symptoms of ADHD and other possible explanations for difficult behaviors
- 3 basic learning styles and how to accommodate them
- How to help boys who are having trouble in school
Unfortunately, an increasing number of children and teenagers today have issues serious enough to warrant seeking out professional help. These situations go beyond ADHD and into the realm of extremely destructive and dangerous behavior. Increasing numbers of teenagers are acting out in destructive ways that include drug and alcohol abuse, risk-taking behavior, and criminal activity. For the parents and families who are suffering at the hands of their teenagers, it can seem as though there is no one who understands. When dealing with these situations parents can feel as though they do not have any power to stop their teen from hurting him or herself.
If you are worried that your teenager is a danger to himself or to other people, then you need to get professional help as soon as possible. You should not feel ashamed to ask a certified counselor, minister, or psychiatrist for help with a difficult teenager. There are coaches and psychologists who have worked with many unmotivated students like yours and they can help you to turn your teen’s life around. In extreme cases, you may choose to have your teenager enter an in-house rehabilitation program. In addition to working with a professional counselor, A Better Way is an excellent resource to use while you are helping your teenager to get his life back together. It contains logical and down to earth suggestions for helping you to interact more positively with your difficult teenager.

- Why you shouldn’t struggle alone and professionals that you can go to for backup

Many books that aim to help parents, fail to provide practical ways to help them to change their unmotivated child or teenager’s behavior.

Fortunately, A Better Way is very different from other parenting books. It is full of practical suggestions that will help you to restore your relationship with your unmotivated student. The ideas contained in this book will help you to reestablish peace in your home and enable you to parent your children positively and effectively.
