Dd16 has never had a problem with motivation to learn. She always did her homework/revision without any nagging and ended up doing very well at gcse. This situation is therefore very foreign.
She likes college, has made some friends and appears settled but I’ve noticed she’s done no work over half term which is unusual. She said that she has no official homework and would be having a break and then do some independent study this weekend. Of course the weekend is here and she’s just said that she has no motivation to do any work and can’t bring herself to do anything. She isn’t depressed as has been really happy, silly and generally fine all week. I know she is struggling with thinking about the future as she has no idea about future careers and isn’t sure she wants to go to uni. We have chatted previously about having time to think after a levels and not rushing to uni. I think this is a problem as a levels seem rather pointless but I asked how she would feel to get d grades rather than the a grades she is predicted.
I suggested speaking to the college about her feelings but she’s not keen.
what advice should I give her and what advice would you give to me! (Worry wart by nature I’m afraid!)
