Summary
Motivating A Kid Who Gives Up or Has Shut Down
You have a child who gives up when things get hard or who has already shut down. He just won’t push through in school, sports, or music. So how do you motivate a child like this without crushing his spirit or causing her to become defiant? If you don’t do this right, there are dire consequences. Seriously dire. And perhaps that’s why Kirk got so emotional when describing what these kids feel. You may even want to let your child listen to this.
