Although it may seem strange if there is demotivation in children, and can be reflected in the lack of interest that the child can have when doing any type of activity, even not wanting to play.
When people are motivated they are able to perform any activity in order to achieve their goals and dreams, otherwise they are a person without the courage to do anything.
In the same way, children feel this way, but they are not able to understand their situation, that is why parents should be alert to their changes of mood, attitude and personality, in order to help them with time.
How to know when a child is unmotivated?
