For those who are parents or going to have kids one day~

If your child brings home his/her report card, he/she made all A's and few B's how do you reward him/her? Do you give money, buy them something, or not do anything?

Some of you may have read that my daughter was getting bullied and her grades were slipping. So, I thought it was best if we moved close to my family in another town.

Well, I just got my daughter's report card last friday. She made 4 A's and 2 B's :jaw: I was soooo surprised and very very proud of her in fact I had tears in my eyes. I knew she was doing extremely well but I didn't realize how well she was doing. I felt that I did the right thing changing her to a different school. I wasn't sure how to reward her so I gave her 10 dollars, she sure was proud.

I wanted your opinion how you give a reward to your child when he/she make good grades on report card.

Yes I will give my kids reward if small kid, will give a toy, but if pre teen, will give money alike A's each 5 dollars, and B's 3 dollars. My parents always gave me the rewards. Mostly 100 dollars since I got alots A's and honor rolls many times. Also Finalist Best Student of school. Which they did gave me something, it make me feel like they accomplish to be proud of me and know that I work so hard. I think its fair to give something prize for kids that they earns.
 
oh yea rebelgirl told me last sunday that her daughter got good grades and i am sooo happy for her!!! :D

Wow! That is so great to hear about that, I'm very happy for you and your daughter! Did she made some new friends at new school??

Sorry, I don't have any children so I can tell you what I would give them, but if I have a child and make a good grade I would give my child some money or treat ice cream!
 
Rebegirl, No offended Hun, But this thread should go in Parent forum because it's about parents and kids. ;)

When my son, Markus got straight A's for the whole school year, I award him something big like X Box or Playstation 2, Last year I awarded him to a game shop where he could buy anything up to $200.00, He brought video games.

This year, I've told him the same thing If he gets all A's and B's with no C's , D's or F's I will award him the same thing $200.00-$300.00 for the whole school year. That make my son work harder in school and keep his grades in level.
 
I think the reward will be appreciated more by the child if it fits his/her current level of development. This is very brief but I think you get my drift; I must go for a while now and if there's anything more you want me to say, I'll so so when I get back.

Meanwhile, coongratulations to your child!
 
That is great about your daughter improving her grades! :applause:

Both of my girls received straight A's this term. I dont reward them with money or materials but rather compliments because they have to learn & understand that earning good grades is not all about getting money or stuff from me but that it is important for them so they could do well in high school and college, not to mention beyond.
 
Aww, :applause: I'm really glad to hear about your daughter getting better with her grades :hug:


I do give my children rewards when they have good grades on their report cards, it shows that I'm very proud of them, and it will also help them improved better and to take their school works seriously too....

It's nice seeing my children run up to me and showing their report cards knowing they will make their mom proud, and being able to get something in return too, it seem to work too :giggle: ...

I never gave her any money for her grades til now. When I gave her money she had the motivation and encouragement to do better. I know what you mean about getting good grades is not all about getting money but it shows encouragement to the child to do better and to keep up with the grades. It just made my daughter feel really good and put the smile on her face.

Tousi, I get your drift, but she IS at her current level of development. If you have read my other thread you'll see why I mentioned this thread because she has been struggling for the whole school year due to being bullied and her grades were slipping. It has nothing to do with her development

She made plenty.. She's got a new bestfriend with the same name as hers! Isn't that weird? Also my daughter's name is unique not common at all.
 
I used to get straight A's in elementary school but my parents never gave me any money. My friends, who got B's and C's but no A's, got money for their grades. I never felt comfortable about showing my grades to other kids but they liked to show me their grades. I was just happy to show my parents.

We praised our daughter for good grades but we didn't pay her.
 
Congratulations on your daughter's wonderful grades :applause:

When my 6 year old daughter made on the honor roll list, I took her out to a restaurant of her choice to celebrate her being on the honor roll. Other times I'd buy a book for her as a praise gift whenever she gets excellent grades. I'd give her a big hug and tell her how proud I am of her :)
 
Thats great that your daughter got great report!

But I dont have ANY kids now.. But if I do, I will tell them if they work very hard and getting good grades for whole of year so I will give them something surprise that they really want or whatever like that.. I try my best :thumb:
 
Thank you all for sharing this with me! I just wanted to hear what ya'll have to say on how you do this with your kid! :hug:

similar here, I got 5 alot (in my home country there's numbers poor 1 to better 5 but here letters, interesred :) ) never got any rewards nor praised, also last year to graduate I got all 5 only 2 of 4 my father hardly believed and proud, I got nothing rewards at graduation party either.
My older daughter only 5 yrs old always brought to show me something like her new writting, drawing I praised and hugged her, not means same my time before, just thought the same what Gemtun said :)

Yes I second that.

I don't reward my boys for their good report but praised them with my compliments. I still praised my boys either they have good or bad report with my loving compliments. I don't want my boys doing for me but themselves.

I told them how much proud I am of them and :hug: them. If my boys have bad report then sit and have a good talk with them.
