Rewarding should be given when rewards fit the archievement. My parents taught us to be responsible. When we helped with the house chores we would be given tellies. my parents had a board, the board had all the goodies we liked but they had to be bought with tellies, it would take a whole week to be able to afford 1 goddie from the board.without tellies no goodies. As r grew up we where told that of we pass certain grades at school we would get certain items we wanted like a laptop,a bike and so forth. That pushed us to work hard,do our homeworks without being told. I remember 1 time my little brother didn't do his chores for 3 days because he felt it was lame, when the week ended we had enough tellies to buy what we wanted and he didn't. I bought chocolate and my sister bought ice cream. He wanted us to share with him even though he didn't work,he kept making fun of us,we refused, he was so upset he didn't talk to us for the whole of next week but that next week he did all his chores and bought a goodie
