Description
When a child shuts down, refuses to start, or melts down over a task that looks simple — it is easy to read that as defiance. It is almost never defiance. This e-book is written for the adults in that child’s life. It explains the Effort Brain from the inside out: what the brain is actually calculating when it decides a task is too costly, why low fuel and a loud alarm system make effort feel impossible, and what you can do — right now, in the moment — to lower the cost and help the young person take the first step. You will finish this e-book with a completely different picture of what is happening, and a set of tools you can use the same day.
Adult-led. You read it. You implement it. The young person benefits.
