We do not choose our parents, and when one parent is impaired by alcohol most of the time, this brings developmental challenges for the young adolescent. Alcoholism occurs in India as in other nations, but here there is a greater sense of shame attached to it. This present study looks at the experience of adolescent sons living with an alcoholic parent by means of a qualitative phenomenological design. The sample were selected using purposive sampling. Thematic network analysis is used to analyse data. This involved organizing the data to three levels reflecting salient themes i.e. basic, organizing and global themes. Semi structured interview with five adolescent aged seventeen to twenty were recruited from Bangalore city. Five global themes emerged form the analysis – need for praise, building self esteem, support, religious faith and belief, being misunderstood by others. What stood out was the boys accepted that alcoholism was a disease and that it was not their father’s fault, and remained loyal to their parents.

Motivation is possibly the most imperative aspect that educators can target in order to develop learning. Several cross-disciplinary theories have been suggested to elucidate motivation. While each of these theories has some reality, no single theory seems to effectively explain all human motivation. The truth is that human beings in general and students in particular are multifaceted creatures with complex needs and wishes. With regard to students, very little if any learning can occur unless students are motivated on a regular basis. The focus of this paper is to provide the educator with suggestions from each of the motivating forces that can be used to motivate his or her students. What is the finest approach to motivate students? The short answer is that all of the approaches listed in this paper can be used…as often as likely. Educators could start just by choosing and trying the new possibilities for inspiring student motivation. Or, more prominently, educators could watch themselves and their own behaviors to become self-aware of new understandings about motivation.
