Anyone else have experience with a teenager who went from being a very strong student to suddenly being extremely demotivated? Especially if you think COVID lockdown contributed, but not exclusive to COVID.

Any suggestions? We have tried remote counseling and he stopped that after two sessions. We have talked to his teachers and they have been helpful, but even after scheduling. A much lighter workload this spring, he just blew off a makeup test.

From being a teen who did this, nobody ever asked me why I had an issue. Just need to ask, have you yourself asked the teen in a non judgemental way what's up?

A sudden change often has a specific reason behind it, unless there was a longer pattern you were unaware of. Be sure to probe deep and explore the potentially unthinkable- could there be abuse somewhere?

Isolation from COVID is the most likely reason, especially if your teen no longer sees any reason to complete school work or doesn’t have strong friendships. Introducing some sort of goal (like a family vacation to somewhere he/she decides) could also be part of the solution.
