后记:
“如果奖品是快乐家庭和一件东西或钱,你愿意选择什么呢?”
“快乐家庭!”儿子脱口而出,“看嘛,我说要你们陪我耍我发明的游戏嘛!”儿子理解的快乐家庭就是能陪他一起玩儿,他喜欢自己发明些游戏让我们玩,或让我们陪他舞枪弄剑什么的,有时忙或挺累,就总是敷衍他。今天问他自己选择什么奖励,他说,陪他玩就行,我答应了。
Don't Pay Kids to Be Good
"Can you believe it?" seven-year-old Kayla's mom moaned to her
friend. "I have to take her with me to my cleaning job. She drives
me nuts getting into everything she's not supposed to touch. I have
to pay her to be good or she drives me crazy. It worked for a
while, but now that's not even working. Yesterday she told me that
I wasn't paying her enough!"
Mom's mistake of paying or bribing her child to be good ranks close
to the top of mistakes parents make. If she keeps this up she will
soon suffer from "extortion inflation." By the time Kayla becomes a
teen, no amount of money will buy good behavior.
How many times have you heard parents in the store saying, "Now if
you're good, I'll let you buy a treat"? Every time I hear this I
have fantasies of shaking the parent, or at least yelling, "BIG
MISTAKE!"
Recently I watched two young boys following their dad into the
store as they were saying, "Daddy, what do we get if we're good in
the store today?"
His answer was, "A happy family. That's what you get!"
Now there's a dad I like!
By the way, Kayla's mom needs to listen to our CD, Love and
Logic Magic When Kids Drain Your Energy. The technique
specified there would work on Kayla.
Thanks for reading.
