Over the course of her 25-year career, psychologist and learning expert Ellen Braaten has begun to notice a trend.

Dr. Braaten has been a faculty member of Harvard Medical School for 25 years and is the executive director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. She discusses her new book about how to rekindle your child’s motivation.
