Teenagers may be cheeky, rude, not talk to their parents, get involved in various youth subcultures, and show little interest in studying.
Sometimes the desire to study disappears as soon as the school year begins. Only experts know what could be the reason and how to fix it.
Why the teenager lost interest in studying and how to fix it, reports the publication “ mel.fm ”, citing sources.
What is the reason?
Experts are drawing parents' attention to burnout. It can happen not only to high school students, but also to adults.
The reason for this is intense work in the same field, stress, worries and lack of support.
Signs of burnout
Signs such as emotional exhaustion, fatigue, and apathy will help you understand that your interest in studying has disappeared due to burnout.
The child may devalue his own work and the work of other people, and may deny his own achievements.
Motivation and burnout
But it is important to distinguish between loss of motivation and burnout.
There is a simple way: if a child has problems only with studies, but he continues to communicate with classmates and teachers, then this is definitely not burnout.
Perhaps goals have changed or priorities have shifted, which is not uncommon in adolescence.
Depression and burnout
If a teenager develops depression, it will affect all areas of life, and in the case of burnout, it is mainly studies that suffer.
How to help a teenager
Parents should not set unattainable goals for their child.
It is important to pay attention to him, help him with difficult tasks, and support him.
It is equally important to reduce your workload, revise your plans, and, if necessary, seek help from a specialist.
