Rewards are used to elicit behaviors which would
not naturally occur. The message is Do this and you'll get that, which is not
much different – Do this and this is what will happen to you. Rewards punish
because they are controlling .Even if the kid wants the rewards but they
experience it as controlling, the experience assumes a punitive quality. The
carrot becomes the stick when kids do not get rewards that they were hoping
for. And when everything a kid gets is either a reward or a privilege when he
does not behave he is punished by losing his privilege or reward.
