Reply To: Children and Prizes–Hindering Intrinsic Self Worth

I have been reading this thread and fail to understand what is wrong to give a prize to help motivate and engender a student to feel good about their self worth and advance in their studies. Some students may need to have a booster (prize) shot to help them achieve this. This is true for children growing up in a dysfunctional family. The world is very stressful a dose of chesed goes a long way.
