“But not only does it tend not to last and not only does it understandably push for more rewards in the future but whatever commitment to the task or action they might have developed with you help is now even more scarce than it was to begin with” (Belkin). The children’s reward should be the good grades they have received and earned. They would learn and appreciate knowing they they did the work on their own and accomplished something without any rewards besides the reward of success. The children would get more out of the learning than they would if they were just doing it for the reward. As kids get older, they get less motivated to do the work when they know they are going to get the same treat every time. The children would start to think that is is not worth all the effort to get a reward they have gotten several times before. Parents should motivate their children by letting them recognize that in by doing well in school that they were awarded with good grades. By showing the child that you are proud of their good grades it could motivate them to want to continue. Every once in awhile parents could reward the child for continuing to do well in school by taking them somewhere
