Teenager Lacking Motivation? Not Really!

Question:

I have a 19- old-son, who was fired from his job and just stopped going to community college twice. He was fired because instead of going to work, he stayed at his friend’s birthday party. He spends his days at home in front of the computer, has no responsibilities except to take out the trash, which he does WHEN I ask him too. I just ordered your book on Positive Discipline for Teenagers and am hoping to find some answers because I’m quite concerned about his lack of motivation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
