| Little gifts can make a long drive seem shorter |
Well, you can call it a reward if that makes you feel better. Actually, I think of it more as a bonus for a job well done. When you receive a bonus from your boss it's not a bribe and our children are employed in seeking an education so they can be rewarded also.

| A gift of a good time together |
I have used many different things over the years as rewards for a good school day; little gifts, money, candy, wii time and even a Friday off for a really good week. I don't use rewards every day but I turn to them when we seem to be getting into a slump. They help turn around bad attitudes, laziness, and motivate all of us to do a better job.

| A special treat can also be healthy- yogurt pops |
This week the children can earn some time to play the wii if they have a good day. My Jr. High student has been given a 30 day challenge to do all of his work each day. If he succeeds he will earn $5.00. I also give then $1.00 if they get 100% on a math lesson.

| Going out to lunch is always a favorite reward to earn |
I have no problem giving my children a bonus here and there to keep them motivated and all of us happy. Do you use rewards?
