What do Reward Systems Really Teach? Do they Actually Work?

The Parenting Junkie uses summer reading reward systems to illustrate what reward systems teach. You may be wondering how to use reward systems, especially trying to use reward systems for homework or reward systems for toddlers, but according to Alfie Kohn author of Unconditional Parenting, punishment and rewards are two sides of the same coin. So when contemplating using sticker charts as a reward system you need to ask yourself, do reward systems work. Unfortunately, as you’ll learn in this video, reward systems don’t work, at least in truly changing the behavior. So when you are trying to encourage your child to read think of other ways besides reward systems for reading or summer reading rewards. This video will show you what to do instead of using a reward system.

1:40 – Rewards impede values
3:25 – Rewards impeded achievement
5:26 – Set goals together
7:45 – Show appreciation
8:19 – Encouragement and celebration

Disadvantages of Sports for Kids and How to Bring Back the FUN!!

The Parenting Junkie illustrates the disadvantages of sports, specifically the disadvantages of sports for kids. In this video you’ll learn about the harmful effects of competition as well as problems with competition. Instead of focusing on competition and competitive sports you’ll see that there can be fun in sports when we leave it up to our children to decide. The problem with competition is that it focuses on winning and winning only. The flip side is the theory where everybody wins. Neither of which really help teach our children. In order to bring back fun in sports we need to make sports fun by allowing children to create their own pick-up games. In this video you’ll see the problem with organized sports is that they focus on competition for kids, this will show you what to do instead. By the end of this video you’ll understand why competitive sports at a young age is harmful and how to make sports fun again.

Yes, children are great, but they can leave you skint | Sarah Ditum

No wonder Britain’s birth rate is at a record low – being a working parent is so tricky

There is a point in parenting where you ask yourself whether it’s all worth it. In crude financial terms, the answer is probably no. The most well-paid of women aside, it’s routine for couples to find that a mother’s return to work costs almost as much in nursery fees as her wages are worth (and sometimes more). Childcare becomes a patchwork thing: as many sessions in the creche as you can stretch to, hasty parental handovers between shifts, a willing grandparent to pick up the slack if you’re lucky. Always, the low hum of panic that this is the day it all falls to pieces.

When this was my choice to make, my partner and I stretched and strained to make it work, because hanging on until school started would have put a five-year hole in a career that I hadn’t even begun. But there was another option – or there would have been, if I’d weighed this all up pre-pregnancy. Like many of my friends, I could have just not. No babies. No payslip turning to dust in your hand. No begging your childminder for lates when your office needs you just a bit longer. No joy of parenting either, but how can you miss people who haven’t been born?

Ever since Rocky IV I’ve loved injections… which may be weird but I’ll fight any anti-vaccine parent

This week my son had his MMR vaccine, stressing us all. No one likes injections. Except me. I’ve always enjoyed them. I think it’s from watching Ivan Drago in Rocky IV when I was small, which made me think of them as power-ups. Each childhood needle-sting thrilled me a little. It was like I felt some ominous Soviet liquid coursing through my veins, allowing me to dish out, and eventually receive, a beating so hard it ended communism. I thought everyone felt this way at first but quickly learned that of the millions of people who watched that movie, I alone took home a feelgood message about needles, and how sweet it must feel to receive a Cold War dose of performance-enhancing drugs.

Even if you don’t share my fondness for the actual injections, I hope I can spread my enthusiasm for vaccines. I’ve been writing this column for a year, and have never proscribed any practice. There are a million other organs willing to make you feel bad about your parenting choices. But vaccines aren’t one of those choices, and I refuse to be anything but strident.
