Will someone argue about the effectiveness of food reinforcement? We do any work, even unloved, if after a certain period of time it becomes possible to buy food for yourself, our family or guests. Even the most routine work will be done if there is some kind of yummy reward. And how differently, is there a force that can make us clean onions or potatoes?
In each office they drink coffee with delicious cakes. This cannot be called useful food, but this is not used for the purpose of nutrition. To raise eyelids on closing eyes, they drink coffee, and cakes are needed in order to sweeten existence while on a short leash, and sometimes on a strict collar. And, nevertheless, coffee and cakes are perceived by us as a reward for patience during service for several hours. And this experience, taken from many offices, can be applied in other matters.
For children you can use healthy grapes. It is very convenient to tear off one berry. Mostly children are at a time when they prepare homework, do not allow. But, some parents, periodically approaching children with nuts or berries, and give them one little one for each correctly done task. In this way, they help a child who at times is ready to start a tantrum due to long failures, in a state of joy, and lessons, a call to the board instead of a nightmare begin to remind of home comfort and goodies. The correct or incorrect answer does not become a shame or a triumph, but is associated with a delicious reward or receiving it from the following attempts.
Perhaps someone had noticed earlier that chopped children or thick uncles, mostly cheerful, are a little impudent, but also successful. Of course, not all of them, but most, were brought up with sweet rewards without punishment. And when the reward is small, although frequent, the child will not turn into a fat man. Adults do not need to expect awards from mommy. They can independently treat themselves to a little, while restricting from the uncontrolled absorption of their favorite dishes. At the same time, you can please yourself not only for the tasks completed, but also for its execution ahead of schedule or on time.
Having outlined the work for fifteen minutes, put the timer for ten, and take the work so that you meet the timer sound. With a successful completion of the case, please yourself with something tasty. It is not the main positive result, but it is important that 15 minutes of continuous work have passed, and with what pleasure. Try a few more such attempts. We get excitement, as in computer games and, even more, because there are no such games that would put joy on the tongue.
Probably, there are no people who would in a good mood and only for small pieces of sausages perform work with joy and success, for which they took up the fulfillment of, except for a very good fee and then with self -confusion. It should be said that work that you can’t do with great difficulty, and for a solid reward, will be fun and easily fulfilled for almost anything when we will stimulate ourselves with pleasures, as a reward.
