Is it bad to use toys and games to get your child to do good in school?

I think it is a great way to show him that you earn the right to do certain things. I use the computer time for chores at our house. If they do their chores they get computer time if not well too bad so sad their friends will miss them on messenger. They know my rule and it has come in handy. I say do whatever works and if it is working then good job!!

I think it is a really good way, that will teach him that if his behavior is good then he gets to do good things, if his behavior is bad then he doesnt, it shows there are consequences for his actions whether they are good or bad actions

Nothing wrong with that method. We use similar tactics here in our household too.

we use that method too. in my opinion, whatever works works. it is important for their future that they do good in school. i want my children to try their best. i think it is good to teach them that if they behave well then they will get to do fun things and be rewarded. so many kids these days get spoiled and get whatever they want.

We do the same thing. If he gets a happy face he has all of his privileges - playing with his friend, TV, video games, etc. When he gets a sad face - or as they like to call it an oops - then he get some thing taken away. If he gets a grumpy face - poor - then he is in lock down in his room.

Oh as a parent and teacher you both are doing great things. I can assure you that. Infact I tell the parents to follow similar methods. We both have formed a star rewarding system and depending upon the gold stars the kid gets, the kid is rewarded both at home and school. The reward will be something that the kid likes, like a cup of ice cream, a kids book a colour box.

It depends. It is good if the kid will get rewards when they really do something great in school or in their activites but it shouldn't be practiced as often.

The kid should understand that why he need to do good in school aside from getting reward from someone else. He needs to understand that doing better/good in his school/activities will be for his own good with or without any rewards at all.

I think that we need to balance the things that we are giving to the child since it is not everyday we could provide gifts as a reward to the kid.

I think that it is perfectly fine to use something the kid enjoys to get hem to work hard in school.
It lets them know that if they work hard in life you get rewarded. Cause lets face nothing in life comes easy. If you reward their hard work then they learn that it takes hard work to get the things that they want in life.

No that isn't wrong. You are using something he likes as a reward for doing well. That's an excellent thing to do. Reward systems are great with dealing with kids. It shows them when they do things right they are better off. No different then giving a child an allowance for doing their chores. My thought is whatever works keep doing it

Sounds like a good way of rewarding your children when they do well at school. It only encourages them to do better and get more smiley faces so that they get to play their favorite games and such. It means they will work harder for it, I would think. Good stuff mummy!
