HOW TO MOTIVATE A TEENAGER FOR COLLEGE

Teens who appear to lack motivation usually fall into one of two camps:

1. Those who don't feel a sense of urgency 2. Those who are so stressed they can't get things done

How you handle the situation should depend on your teenager’s core reason for delaying their college journey.

FEAR OF BEING ON THEIR OWN

Find out what is causing them anxiety and determine potential solutions.  Make sure your student knows you are there for them during the transition.

ANXIETY OVER THEIR FUTURE

Choosing a major that seemingly defines their entire professional life is intimidating. Remind them just because they pick a major today that doesn’t mean they can’t change later.

NOT REALIZING TIME IS PASSING

If your student doesn’t realize they need to keep moving forward, adding a bit of stress can actually be the better approach. Remind them of upcoming deadlines and make sure they consider the consequences of waiting

NO INTEREST IN COLLEGE

If your student is avoiding college searches and applications, have a discussion regarding why. If they say they don’t want to further their education, avoid a strong reaction.
