[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 148802, member: 10"] Hi, One of the problems with ' reward and punishment is the focus is what happens to me , what's in it for me , what will I get or what will be done to me , rather than reflecting on the type of person you are trying to be , the values you are trying to express. Preparing a kid for the world in my humble opinion requires enabling him to aquire values that will help him become caring , competent and responsible and the life skills that will enable him to work and collaborate with others. Here is a quote from Immanuel Kant, Education If you punish a child for being naughty, and reward him for being good, he will do right merely for the sake of the reward ; and when he goes out into the world and he finds out that goodness is not always rewarded , nor wickedness always punished , he will grow into a man who only thinks about how will get on in the world and does right and wrong according as he finds either of advantage to himself.
