Fear of punishment or expectation of a reward itself cannot help a child to learn. To teach a child true values, only prizes are not enough and punishment itself is not enough to prevent him from doing wrong. The parents should make all attempts to motivate their children. By illustration he may be motivated, by explanation his thinking process may improve, but all this has much lesser impact when compared with the behavior of the parents.
A child can imbibe the noble character of kindness when he sees his mother showering her kindness to some-one. And this character trait cannot be acquired by reading even seven thousand's of books. High ideals are the most precious wealth that can be given as a legacy.
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our child.
