Reply To: Going off the Derech

zahavasdad- sounds right, but I’m not sure which mitsvos he really wants to do at this point.

interjection-I agree with you that the more he thinks we want him to do something, the more he won’t want to do it. But I’m just wondering how to get a kid to want, or like to daven? Even if it doesn’t come from us, which seems inevitable at this point, where does it come from?

Sam2-good advice.
