Join Dr. Braaten for An Evening of Insights, Tools and Advice About How to Motivate Children

“He’s so smart, but no longer interested in school–or any 'offline' activities.”
“She used to love sports, but now she just mopes around.”
"My kid has turned into such a slacker!”

Sound familiar? If you're wondering how your bright, motivated child became an unengaged older kid or teen, you're not alone. Acclaimed psychologist and learning expert Dr. Ellen Braaten shares insights from her new book “Bright Kids Who Couldn’t Care Less: How to Rekindle Your Child's Motivation" to help you understand the many factors that affect motivation and to know and appreciate your own child's unique strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits.

Gain valuable tools for tackling the motivational problems that are so pervasive today–and build a plan to boost your child’s confidence and engagement in life.

"Dr. Braaten distills research and decades of clinical experience into this hugely useful guide. The book throws a lifeline to parents struggling to understand a kid who seems to have given up. If you want to help children discover and enjoy their strengths, this book is a 'must read.'"
--Lisa Damour, PhD, author of "The Emotional Lives of Teenagers"
