The Start Switch
Your child isn't lazy. He sat still for twelve hours on the thing he loved — the engine works. The trouble is never the focus; it's what starts it. A worksheet offers importance and a grade a week away, and his brain runs on what pays now.
One page: pick one task he stalls on, shrink the first step until it's almost embarrassingly small, make the finish line and the win visible, and sit beside him. You're not spoiling him — you're supplying, on the outside, the immediate reward his brain can't make on the inside yet. Ten minutes of started, not twelve hours of magic.
