]]> Comment on Rewarding good child behaviour with food, not such a good idea. by L.A http://childbehaviourtips.com/2009/06/15/rewarding-good-child-behaviour-with-food-not-such-a-good-idea/#comment-69 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 04:21:13 +0000 http://childbehaviourtips.com/?p=169#comment-69 Nice blog…Its certainly important to appreciate a child in course of good behaviour to encourage it. However, I am normally against rewarding children of any kind, should it be food or anything else…I’ve seen a lot of website and a lot of people saying the same thing – ‘Reward your child when he does something good in order to encourage such behaviour’? My questions is – How much reward can one give?? Instead of rewarding each time, simply appreciate your child and give a big hug! I think that a child just need to be acknowledged and not rewarded each time. If parents reward children each time, this is going to start a new trend since children might misunderstand and expect a reward every time! If you didn’t reward one time after encouraging such habit, then you are going to experience all sorts of other problems such as temper tantrums, misbehaving, etc… So just appreciate and acknowledge your child’s good behaviour rather than rewarding each time..

Also, I would like to share this site where I’ve written a few articles on ‘Child Behavior Psychology‘ that I believe will help other mums out there..So check it out…the site is: http://www.AussieChildcareNetwork.com/Resources.php

The paycheck being the obvious example. When I think of kids and our job to help shape their behaviour, I always think of taking it one step further. Take chores for example, I don’t put a sticker up on a chart for a chore, when I’ve had to ask my kids to do something. The chore chart is taken one step further, and the reward comes when my kids help out and take initiative. i.e. they clean the table after dinner without being asked.
I also felt that rewards aren’t needed to encourage most positive behaviours. I did however need a little help when it came to potty training…thanks for writing in!

It only makes sense! I especially like the wording “*I* need you to…” So I often I hear parents say “YOU need to…” but such is not usually the case :)

I suppose that’s a reminder that a request is simply that — a request. I can’t imagine having to comply with every request that is made of me as if it were an order. I do expect my children to respond to my requests, but not always to heed them. Fortunately in our case, this seems to have helped them build in the negotiation skills to meet everyone’s needs. For example, if I request that they go put on their shoes, I might hear, “I just need to finish first.” I’m far more understanding when I’ve been answered than when I get no reply and expect them to comply promptly!

Do you think that perhaps we should be looking at guiding and directing our children without the carrot and the stick?
