Step daughter didn't improve in grades she admitted she came down in them. Hubby doesn't think it's fair to award one for better grades if I can't award the other. i am NOT I repeat NOT awarding someone a present for bad grades. SO not happening. If the kid doesn't deserve a gift then they shouldn't bitch when the other gets a gift for better grades. As simple as that. Study harder and if I have the cash you get a gift. Simple as that. Daughter lost her nintendogs game and thinks one of her friends borrowed the game and never returned it or stole it. In other words. So I bought a different nintendogs game on ebay to replace the one she lost and am giving it to her only as a gift for getting a Most of the time instead of some of the time in

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
well i wouldnt reward a child for bad grades.. but i would reward them for effort...
they are both individuals..and need to be rewarded to reflect their own personal acheivement's,
if your daughter has improved then i see no problem in replacing her nintendo game.
explain this to your husband and put the shoe on the other foot, he may understand then.
this isnt about one being better than the other, this is about rewarding individual acheivements , every child is different.
i hope you are not expecting them to acheive the same grades as each other
hugs
The most important thing is to be consistent with what you said the reward was going to be and what they ultimately get.
to reward for bad grades. I may just hold on to the game until
I see her next set of grades or for easter. I can give a gift on easter
and not get told not to do it.
Bargaining or bribing for grades destroys any sense of intrinsic motivation, attaches self-worth to the acquisition material things and in the case of siblings~~step, half, whatever~~creates an unhealthy and unfair competition which invariably leaves one sibling feeling inadequate or inferior.
Children have different talents and strengths and each child should be recognized for their special talents.
The best way to encourage and praise kids for academics is to keep up with what they are doing on a daily basis, give lots of verbal praise and hugs when they do well and give lots of encouragement, extra help and hugs when they haven't done well.
How is nintendo gonna help someone with their studies anyway. Is the game for You?
