Raising Good Kids!
It's rumored that Jay Z and (maybe Beyonce) are spoiling
baby "Blue Ivy" rotten and she's not even a year yet.
And what's wrong with that, you ask?
As she gets older and Jay Z and Beyonce want to help her do well
on an exam, which approach works best?
a) Telling her she'll get $500 if she aces it. Or...
b) A meal out with a few friends at the local diner.
If you chose B, give yourself a hand.
Why B?
Kids perform better when the reward is much smaller and surprisingly,
do worse if the reward is bigger.
That's right- when kids receive big rewards they lose focus and spend
too much time worrying about the "big" reward-and that causes their
brains to freeze up.
So, if you're Beyonce or a mom from Wichita Kansas,
look into small rewards and hopefully, the kids you raise,
will be hard working, kinder, more concerned about others and smarter.
Good Luck!
