Indianapolis, IN – Local child expert and behavior coach Dennis Bumgarner announces the publication of his new eBook, “Motivating Your Intelligent But Unmotivated Teenager.” The book is a guide for frustrated parents dealing with bright but unmotivated adolescents who are underperforming at school. It explains teenagers’ resistance to change as well as the flawed assumptions parents have about motivation as they try to inspire their children with well-intentioned attempts that are bound to fail.
“This book offers an alternative approach to the typical lectures, arguments, punishments and rewards that simply don’t work,” Bumgarner said. “Most parents do what they know, over and over again, even though it doesn’t bring improved performance. They do so because they don’t know what else to do, even while their efforts contaminate their relationship with their teenager. This book explains why those attempts are ineffective, while detailing what parents can do to elicit true and enduring motivation.”
Incorporating the latest research on motivation while mining Bumgarner’s thirty-five years of experience evoking improved human performance, “Motivating Your Intelligent But Unmotivated Teenager” is available for purchase at www.behavior-coach.com/ebook .
