well now boy-oh i would have to disagree as someone who should be struggling in life. you need physical discipline in order to get proper self motivation. i believe modern psychology is a fucking cult so i think its bullshit. the teachings of Jung replaced the teachings of christ come now its bullshit organized religion in a new shiny package. just because you have some sort of mental/emotional/physical defect dousn't mean theres anything you can't do, thats bullshit anyone can do anything if given the right motivation and due to the way the human mind works, physical punishment is much clearer than anything else in developement of motivations and morals. fuck damn i'm pissed off now.
Firstly as someone who has been psychoanalyzed yes I think psychology the pseudo science is rubbish (i.e. psychoanalysis). however the the idea that the mind is important is still valid, just because Freud and his allies were nutters doesn't mean that the original concept isn't valid, most of our modern world is based on psychology, advertising, marketing, propaganda, traffic management, health and safety laws food packaging, health care etc etc.....
Psychology is mearly working out how peoples minds work and then using this information either to get them to do what you want or to improve their life. Every time you try to put yourself in someone elses shoes, you are using psychology, every time you try to work out what someone is going to do you are using psychology. If you ignore it then it can be used against you its like going to war not only without a gun but with a complete absence of any form of knowledge of any projectile weapon.
When they are little your children look up to you, you are their favorite person in the world, you being demonstratively annoyed, angry, upset with them will often be enough (NO! very loudly and firmly works wonders), there are other things you can do for example when I was little we had a concept of the naughty stair now as I hated to be left out of things this was a big punishment. Now with this my parents managed to discipline me through out my childhood.
When I was teenager on occasion due to various reasons (one of the most obvious being the fact that when your going through the various stages of puberty you tend to come into conflict with your parents as your views change, habits alter and so on) I was a bit of a git sometimes. Now when your a teenager often this is due to some reason in your life (for example girl/boy trouble, difficulty with school work, bullying) so the first method is to try to fix it (i.e. positive action) the sencond method is if the problem has been fixed is to then use negative reinforcement, this can be cutting off allowance, grounding, extra housework, confiscations (i.e. computer games for example) in case of continued unacceptable behavior.
Also try treating children as equals (just think of them as not very experienced adults who have lots of free time) it works wonders.
I'm not saying dyspraxics aren't as good, I think we're better then you normal people I actually pity you people who can't think like we do. There are certain things we can't do as well however there are many things we can do you lot can't. Its thought that one of the major things driving forward human development have been people like me, because we come up with new ideas all the time because we look at the world differently, think of the stereotype of the genius inventor/scientist, they are absent minded eccentric and often have great difficulty relating to people all of which are the stereotypes of dyspraxics. To live in your world we require treatment but thats mainly because your world is so godawful, we run on logic and take what people say at face value, we are truthful and generally pleasant mainly because its harder to lie and we didn't notice if your being insulting or unpleasant. we get drugged to stop us damaging you lot because sometimes we just get so frustrated at the idiocy of some of you people. Also its been for most of human history an advantage as if our abililty to spell or do maths isn't an issue we are nothing but an advantage, 200 years ago it was an advantage in 10 20 years it will be an advantage your looking at the last generation of us who will have any major problem with life as after this the world is designed by us.
