VISITOR, July 1, 1993 9 Dr. Kay's Q&A The key for self-motivation Question: My son has just turned 9. He has many beautiful qualities, but he isn't self-moti- vated. He is smart but misses school assignments, which low- ers his grades. When I tell him Kay Kuzma to go to his room and study, he gets distracted with otherthings. He is overweight, loses his cool quickly and is im- pulsive. How can I help him be self-motivated? Answer: If only I knew the magic formula for self-motivation, I could make a fortune. There are millions of parents out there who would give anything for the answer. Your child needs to feel good about himself. Where does he shine? What are his interests? Many times finding success in one area spills over into other areas.
