in Would You Pay Your Kids for Good Grades? on Blogging Parent
Hi Issak. Hope all is well with you.

I'm not sure about paying kids for grades. Somehow it almost robs a child of doing something for themselves because it feels good. Paying them takes away the personal motivation. I guess I could see paying a child that really the extra encouragement or incentive. Perhaps paying a child after they've past the point of internal motivation. I didn't get any money for my grades until I was a junior or senior. It wasn't a certain amount or anything. I remember that all my grades were above a 96 and my dad gave me $20.
