So I think the rewards day has already come back to bite me, as the kids keep asking what they will get for doing this or that. “Do we get a candy bar?” NO. You get to learn a new song. Isn’t that enough? Bonus: if you don’t get candy for everything, you will have a lower sugar tolerance and might have less problems with your weight as you get older. Goodness knows our society has enough trouble to that effect! Maybe I’ll incorporate push-ups as a reward? You play this song well, you get to do 10 push-ups! Play it again with a better tone, and you get to run up and down a flight of stairs! Would this work? Then again, it’s still a reward for doing something, and would probably backfire. Life is hard 🙁
