Should children be rewarded for good studies: the best options are named
22.01.2025 19:20
Parents often reward their children for good studies. This is shown in different ways: some get an increase in pocket money, others are bought gifts or valuables.
A certain part of the parental community is slightly perplexed by this practice, and all because it is the responsibility of children to study.
Experts from Lady Mail.ru told us whether it is worth introducing a reward system and what options are suitable for this.
Not only is there nothing wrong with a reward system, it is mandatory.
This way you can increase your child’s motivation and academic performance.
But this does not mean that from the first grade onwards, a student needs to be paid according to a “tariff” for every good mark.
Incentive system
In elementary school, a child will have enough parental praise, the understanding that they are proud of him and are being set as an example.
In high school, this method no longer works, and sometimes children simply demand that their successes be celebrated.
Often, hints about expensive gifts are heard as a condition.
But this is not the main thing, experts say. It is important that the reward system develops the child's ability to get satisfaction from acquiring new knowledge.
How to celebrate a child's successes
So, at first, parents can simply praise the student, buy sweets or choose a day for entertainment.
Another option that will appeal to all children regardless of age is to introduce certain concessions (for example, the use of gadgets, video games, etc.).
You can make your child's long-held dream or wish come true.
Upon successful completion of studies in a quarter or during the academic year, you can arrange a family celebration.
And, of course, you can increase the amount of pocket money.
