MIMI ( EDISON ): CHILDREN GETTING REWARED FOR GOOD GRADES.
Nothings wrong for rewarding your child for good grades or even punishing them for bad ones, depending on how is done. I wasn’t rewarded for the good grades I got in school nor chores that had to be done at home. I believe praising your child for their hard work in keeping the good grades is a positive reinforcement and that might be good enough for your child to continue doing good in school. Good grades are a reward in itself. Although, I do believe if their is going to be any reward given it should maybe be on a quarterly basis. This would allow time for those children that are struggling to prove their grades and also be able to get rewarded for their grade improvement. I was reading an article Brains are Fun and it was saying “both rewards and punishment are ineffective”. I might have to disagree on that one because with my children ‘rewarding” has worked for me. I guess it all depends on the child.

I don’t see a problem with praising them but, they should know that the grades are for them not us. They want to get the best grades possible because it affects their lives and not ours. I know with my kids I pushed them so far and then they wanted to achieve high grades for themselves. I think being supportive is a great way to help them. I think they reach out for help when they really need it. Some children need it more than others.
