Case: Classroom Rewards - Candy or Not?
I usually give candy (Dum Dums) for small rewards in my classroom. With so much emphasis on healthy eating lately, what other small rewards could I give my students for following classroom routines?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Rewarding children with food can cause life-long negative problems. Rewarding a child with something that promotes indtrisinc motivation may be a better solution. For example, sitting in a special chair, being the line leader for a week, or something they desire and will try to work for. |

Comments: I agree that intrinsic motivation is meaningful. However, I do not agree that rewarding children with food will have life-long effects. That statement is pretty general. It depends on the type of food and how frequently the food is being rewarded. |
