On episode 200, Alexis Avila speaks with Yulia Rafailova who is founder of Mind Full Education, a company that helps parents and their kids tackle a variety of issues that stem from executive functioning deficits such as:
- Lack of engagement and motivation in academics/school.
- Disorganization, losing important items.
- Emotional overwhelm and anxiety.
- Poor time management, planning, and prioritizing tasks.
- Lack of study routine and skills.
- Communication, asking for help, and self-advocacy.
Yulia says that it’s better to use the word TAKE ACTION (vs. motivation). The word motivated puts a lot of pressure on you. But taking action will lead you to take more action and feel more motivated!
Remember, just because a student is unmotivated it doesn’t mean he is not capable. He might need help setting goals and doing a better job self-starting.
