But parents have to take precaution when rewarding your children especially if parents rely on material or monetary rewards. This will procreate wrong expectations as such that the child hold their parents at ransom and demand material rewards otherwise the child will continue with their bad behaviors.

Reward your child for behavior that is appropriate for the situation. Some times a simple comment or hug will do. Comment such as “Well Done”, ” You Did Great”, “Keep It Up” so on … Parents have a greater roles to play and influence on your child behavior. The example you set is a standard your child embraces. For example if you can’t keep own room clean don’t expect your child to tidy and clean their room too. Parents should never compare children because every child is different.
