Very interesting video clip which made me really think about some of my students. I agree with what Dr. Greene had to say. It is not about a kid that will do well if they wanna, but more about a kid that will do well if they can. I have worked with kids who are incredibly motivated, but don't have the support at home. I have also worked with kids who are motivated to improve their speech but are impacted by physical issues and parents can't afford to look into orthodontics, ENT, etc. It's not always about finding the motivator for a kid but sometimes it is looking at the situation/ environment that they are coming from. If you go in with the mindset that we are all just doing our best with what we have been dealt with and/or are dealing with in life, you can show someone some compassion and don't we all deserve that?
