I wish I had an answer for you. You are describing our daughter from the fifth grade on. She was neither motivated by reward or punishment. We kept taking things away from her until all she had left in her bedroom was a mattress on the floor. She didn’t care. And there wasn’t any reward that could motivate her for more than 15 minutes. I’d like to say it ended happily, but she is going to be 21 in July and it’s sitting on her butt in her apartment getting the federal unemployment. She thinks everything is just a big joke. And the joke is on us.
I hope your situation ends up better. The only thing I am thankful for is that she lives 400 miles away from us.
