Do rewards work with children? Some people in the old field of behavioral, psychological analysis point to a peculiar fact regarding disciplining. It appears that punishment is quicker to teach than rewards. However, how happy would a child be if punishment were always used? Remember, most of what is traditionally done to children is not natural.
A French thinker, Gilles Deleuze once said that adults repeatedly treat children with infantilism that is not theirs. That means that most of the restrictions we place on children’s actions are not really beneficial for the most part. So the next time you want to be critical of your children, why not try rewarding first?
