If your child is demotivated, it will be infinitely harder for them to get their schoolwork done - and to a good standard. A lack of motivation will also mean they'll be more easily distracted and more likely to have their confidence knocked by disappointing results. This in turn can result in:

​

​

• A feeling of failure around schooling and study;

• Poor grades that don't reflect their ability;

• A lack of clarity around goals in education or future careers

​
