When you think about these three teaching tools: praise, rewards, and punishment, do you find that you use them regularly? Many teachers and parents do!
In this episode of the Pre K Teach and Play podcast, hosted by Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, I am joined by Dr. Shauna Tominey and Alyssa Blask Campbell to reflect upon the use of these practices with children. While you might think you know all there is to know about praise, rewards, and punishment, tune in to find out important new information.
Spoiler alert: we offer the “brain reasons” for why these common practices might not be as effective as you think. In fact, they might be harmful in the long run.
Throughout my website, you will find trainings that move us away from these three strategies. Instead, you teach with the brain in mind. 21st Century teaching, versus teaching children based on outdated notions. This podcast lends itself to that goal. Take a listen to learn why you might want to reconsider using these practices!
This is an introduction to the nuances of praise, rewards, and punishment. For more, please look through my articles, videos, and trainings offered on this website or email me with your questions!
