Rewards

I remember my late mother giving us rewards when we got high grades in school. Even if she's busy tending to our stores, sunday is our fun day. She treated us for a picnic& play at Rizal Park and Fort Santiago. When its my turn to be a mother, i do the same with my children. I give them rewards if they perform well in school by buying their wishes with a condition that it should not be expensive. Giving rewards is a good motivator for a child to strive harder.

For the third generation in our family, my daughter Ybelle is also doing the same to Kim, a prep 2 student at Mater Ecclessiae. She just makes promise that they will eat at Jollibee or McDonalds, if he is good in the class. So far it works because he is on the top three, and hopefully he can maintain it till school closing in march. As his doting grandmother, his PSP , Lego sets and hot wheels already prepared as his rewards for his good behavior and outstanding performance in school.
