Should Your Reward Your Child for Good Behavior? NOD - ep48

from No Ordinary Days · host Sean Allen

One thing that parents - particularly Christian parents - are often opposed to is rewarding their children for good behavior. Their concern is understandable - what if my child learns to obey just to receive rewards? And if the reward is removed or becomes commonplace, will they continue to obey? In this episode we discuss whether or not this fear is well founded or if rewards can, in fact, be used appropriately to encourage good behavior in our children.
