Скачать или смотреть Wicked Smart but Unmotivated: Helping a Teen Who’s Drowning in 4 AP Classes

How do you support a wicked smart but unmotivated teen who is suddenly behind in four AP classes while you and your co-parent disagree on the approach?
In this video, we break down practical strategies inspired by a real-life situation where a 17-year-old junior signed up for four APs, believed he could handle the workload, and is now struggling to turn in assignments.
You’ll learn:
Why high-achieving teens overestimate what they can handle and what’s really behind the “lazy” label.
How to balance empathy and accountability when one parent wants stern lectures and the other wants a softer approach.
Concrete steps for resetting expectations around AP workloads, deadlines, and executive function.
How to talk with your teen about dropping, adjusting, or prioritizing classes without shaming them.
Ways co-parents can get on the same page so the teen doesn’t feel caught in the middle.
We’ll also cover communication scripts you can adapt at home, questions to ask the school, and how to protect your relationship with your teen while still insisting on responsibility.
If you’re parenting a bright but burned-out or unmotivated high schooler, this video is for you.
