No kid lacks motivation on purpose. There is always a root cause for why they aren’t motivated. Our job as parents is to be detectives and find out this root cause and then address it. Below are 10 common underlying root causes that are most likely to drive a child’s lack of motivation.

1. Fear
2. No Goals or poor goals
3. Has a perception that something is too easy
4. It’s not important to them

6. Thinks that something will take too long
