Unique motivation
Rewards are often the only motivation for children to learn, not out of interest and curiosity about learning content.
Short-term benefits
Material rewards can only stimulate children's interest and motivation in the short term, but can't maintain their interest in learning for a long time.
Affect values
Excessive dependence on material rewards may affect children's values. If children only pay attention to rewards and don't care about the learning process itself, they may gradually ignore other more important goals, such as self-growth, moral quality and interpersonal relationships.
Cultivate intrinsic motivation
Therefore, education experts generally believe that parents and teachers should focus on cultivating children's intrinsic motivation and self-drive, and encourage them to explore the fun and significance of knowledge, rather than relying too much on material rewards.
