Did you know ?
- Sticker charts and naughty chairs have their roots in a behaviourist theory of bringing up children.
- This type of behaviourism is based on the idea that children are motivated by external rewards.
- Children that are gifted, sensitive, creative, imaginative and able to be highly absorbed in their own interests are often not motivated by external rewards. They are intrinsically motivated.
- Leading educationalists (past and present) - such as Montessori, Gardner, and Vygotsky stress the importance of internal or intrinsic motivation. It leads to: better child-parent relationships, an ability to handle life’s difficulties which in turn enables a child to achieve at home and school.

‘kids who are Emotion-Coached still get sad, angry, or scared under difficult circumstances, but they are better able to soothe themselves, bounce back from distress, and carry on with productive activities. In other words, they are more emotionally intelligent.’ (The heart of Parenting, John Gottman - 1997, Bloomsbury Publishing, London).
