Today on the Podcast :
Today’s mini episode is the audio version of a blog post we created as a guide to help you think through the question, “Should you reward your kids?” It’s the age-old question: Should I pay the kids to do house chores? Let’s be honest – we’ve all been there, wondering if we’re brilliantly motivating our kids or just straight-up bribing them. Turns out, rewards can actually be effective tools when you’re asking the right question, but they can totally backfire when your kid cares more about earning screen time than actually learning to be helpful. Host Stacy Bellward walks through nine super practical, research-backed tips that’ll help you use rewards in ways that actually build character.
Key Takeaways:
* The one question that changes everything: It’s not about compliance – discover what your child is really learning
* The “Nathan story”: How one strategic “bribe” transformed a disruptive teen
* Creative reward systems that actually build character (not just behavior)
