[quote=Anonymous]I used to pay my daughter for goals. Now that she’s on a travel team and is recognized as a naturally gifted athlete I stopped. When she asked me why her little brother still gets paid for each goal I told her at the time she needed the incentive but now her sport was part of her life, and her motivation is improving her skills and her inner self, win or lose. Money can’t buy that, it comes from the heart. She thought about it for a minute and said...”ok. Makes sense.” I think it made her feel like she had reached a certain level of accomplishment. Instead, I buy her the best equipment. She now looks at her little brother and says, “you’ll get there buddy.” I think the same idea would work for grades. [/quote]
