    When my children were younger, I gave them a piece of candy or take them out for pizza to celebrate depending on what they accomplished. The older they got, the less I rewarded them and they understood that being congratulated was it's own merit. I'm not sure how a positive time out would work though...

    I love the idea of teachers using alternatives to candy. When my son was in school I always disliked the fact that they rewarded him with candy - it makes me [his parent] seem bad when I say he can't have it or even still I would have to say no to candy at home because he was given candy in the classroom.
    Another thing that irritated me was even when I discussed with the teacher his sensitivity to all things sugar they would still give it to him. [reducing sugar in the class room and even in the lunch program would decrease some behavior problems for those children who are especially sensitive to it.]

    Devoted cheer fans might want to look up old Cub Scout Pack leader guides and suggestions. I remember when my brother was a member (um...nearly 40 years ago....), they had all kinds of unique cheers.

    Hugs, cheers, banners, crowns, award certificates and star charts are all great motivators for kids! 5*s and lensrolled to 2 of mine!

    I like to give hugs and candy. Is that so wrong?
  • boutiqueshops Sep 24, 2008 @ 10:59 am | delete
    Hugs, encouragement and time spent with them on special activities are great...and so is this lens!

    Smiles and hugs and cheers. Candy may be a treat but not a reward.
