Many parents are completely at a loss when it comes to persuading their child to do something important.
Many techniques are used.
Some simply scare and threaten, while others, on the contrary, try to bribe. Experts note that both strategies are a failure.
Threats are ineffective for one simple reason: you are highly unlikely to carry them out.
Why doesn't the "bribe" system work?
As it turns out, children very quickly begin to realize their own benefit. They understand that they can make concessions to their parent and get what they want.
But they don't realize the full importance of the situation.
If, for example, you promised to buy a new gadget for good grades, then the meaning of studying will remain unclear to the child. If you promise to buy ice cream for cleaning the room, then the whole point of tidying up will be lost.
Therefore, it is extremely important to be able to explain the usefulness and necessity of certain actions. And "bribes" cannot be called effective in the long term.
