NLP for a 12 year old?

[meboo]

Does anyone have any experience of neuro linguistic programming and kids?

My 12 year old has the attitude that the work at school is too hard and there is no point evening trying as well as feeling that he is not capable of doing the work. Now the school are being great and putting a plan in place to help I was considering NLP.
His way of looking at things is the same as mine, so i do get it, but i believe that my issues come from my childhood and I have done everything to make sure he never feels the same but it hasn't worked. I don't want him to grow up with this feeling as it is quite debilitating and frustrating.

So should I give it a go?

Yes, I had teaching in this as a child (a programme called the Learning Game, run by Norma Black who was married to Jack Black who does something called Mindstore) and I'm still using it in my late 20s. I first started at 12. I would hugely recommend it and will make sure my kids are taught NLP around that age.
