If you have a child who is very intelligent but no longer interested in school- or any offline activities, a teen who used to love sports but now just mopes around, or a tween who used to be a super motivated little kid but now has been labelled a "slacker" by everyone in your family... you've come to the right place!

In this episode #podcast 104, Tammy Schamuhn, ICP Co-Founder and Registered Psychologist interviews Dr. Ellen Braaten and together they explore how to get through to bright kids who couldn't seem to care less.

Dr. Braaten is the Director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program (LEAP) at Massacheusetts General Hospital, associate Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Braaten is widely recognized as an expert in the field of pediatric neuropsychological and psychological assessment, particularly in the areas of assessing learning disabilities and attentional disorders.

Her book ""Bright Kids Who Couldn't Care Less: How to Rekindle Your Child's Motivation"" is a wonderful resource for any parents struggling with this issue!
