What should we do if the child does not study, lacks confidence, and has no initiative?

Patient's question:

The child is sixteen years old and has been delayed for various reasons. They are now in the third year of junior high school and are about to take the junior high school entrance examination. However, because they fell behind in practice over the past two years, their grades are very poor, and they cannot keep up with the practice. As a result, they have completely stopped practicing and have lost confidence. They also mentioned that after graduation, they plan to attend a vocational high school, saying that vocational high schools do not require cultural or technical skills, and it is enough to practice their major well.
Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Hired a tutor for supplementary lessons, but they couldn’t focus on what kind of help they needed.
What kind of help they need:
They don’t know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

From your description, it seems you are very indulgent towards your child. I suggest having more communication with him, explaining the importance of studying, and increasing supervision. You should not get impatient, as daily supervision is necessary. At the same time, make him understand that it's not too late to make progress now, and he is definitely capable of getting into a good high school.
Doctor's inquiry: This depends on the joint efforts of you and your spouse. For your child's future, a little hard work and attention over these months are definitely worth it.
