i am fun of giving prizes to my children when do good in school or they did a good job on some chores. i think it is a good way of disciplining and training them to learn things in life. what do you think?

that is a nice strategy but has disadvantages too. they might become dependent on it and when there are tasks to be done they will always ask for something in return.

You should be careful with it and make sure that you are not making them into a person who always has a price for everything he/she do. Just minimize it and let them understand the real purpose of the prize.

i am not into that kind of token unless for some major things they made like having good grades in their report card and in major examinations. i see to it that everyday should not be treated like looking forward for tokens just to motivate them do the right thing. it is also needed to discipline according to the right way that having great things made should not be exchanged with tokens all the time.

i do believe that giving some tokens will definitely help and there's nothing wrong about it but of course we should try to consider that giving too much is not good anymore.

nice, that's a good idea you got there phoebe--jane. i think i should do this too i am sure of it will really help a lot! :)

i am torn on this part because i kind of agree and disagree. there is two different side effects of giving such prizes for it and yet just do it whenever it is needed.

well, that depends on how you handle your child. when everything is under control, nothings wrong with that. but if you are doing it all the time and he seems to just doing the favor for you, then that's another story.

This is a good motivation but should have a certain criteria for it to avoid children from abusing such technique. It is right to give them a prize for a job well done because they deserve it.

a good thing to keep a kid going! :) it's probably not a bribe or so, it is something that they might think a good way to keep them making the best out of everything.

i think it is a good way of motivating kids to do good in whatever they do. although my parents never implement such strategy for good reasons also i do use it sometimes with my child.

I am not really into this because it may have a bad influence on them. I would rather give them appreciation for a good job. I think it would be better and safe.

though its a good thing to give them prizes to motivate them but i still prefer to appreciate them for a job well done, or a wonderful time on kid theme park would be great as a reward not only your child can have fun but also family bonding

we should not spoil them with prizes but i'm not against it though. it will make them more inspire knowing that a good prize will be given to them if they get good grades!
