Default Unmotivated 12 yr. old boy...help!


I'm new to this forum, this is my first post. I'm really hoping that there are some of you that can give me advice for my 12 year old son. He is so hard to motivate and doesn't like doing anything physical except for Hockey. He just started a hockey camp but that is only for a week then we'll be back to boredom and sitting around. We have extreme difficulty getting him to do homework, reading, playing games he's turning into a couch potatoe! We started him in band lessons and he already wants to quit after only 3 lessons. We are very frustrated and not sure how to deal with this slump. He's even losing weight because he doesn't have much of an appetite. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
