It’s no hidden that attempting to have your kids pursue a routine is no simple mission. Even the most easiest work can become a disappointing temper tantrum. Many parents aspire to have an efficient system, but aren’t certain where to turn to. That is where the sticker charts come in.
Sticker Charts
Many parents pledge by
this system to make sure that their kids are learning how to take liability and
understand their daily or weekly assignments. It looks fairly simple: finish a
task, get recompense with a sticker. Nevertheless, this may not be the
appropriate manner to teach kids how to carry out the appropriate thing.
Psychologist Erica Reischer indicates in an Atlantic article
that houses then become “reward economies.” She continues by clarifying:
“No matter what the
system, reward economies encourage a transactional example for great conduct:
Children come to anticipate a prize for good conduct and are uncertain to ‘give
it away for free’.”
Are They More Harmful Than Helpful?
What starts out as a
system to make children to carry out their duties and assignments then becomes
an obsessive need for stickers, even after the tasks. A lot of children then
reject to carry out anything except that they are reinforced with a sticker.
Reischer fosters her
interpretation: “The problematic perspective of children grew up in a
reward economy—“What’s in it for me?”—is an anticipated answer to the conflict
of social standards (the hidden forces that form how people act) with market
customs (a system of wages, debts, agreements, and clients).”
Basically, Instead of
teaching kids to carry out the appropriate thing in the interest of doing the
appropriate thing, sticker charts show them that if they manipulate a system
enough (or pay enough), they will get whichever they need without needing to
take others into account.
Whereas these systems
may work for some people, probably it’s appropriate attempting to teach
children to finish their tasks without a gift.
