It is often said that parents’ rewarding for good grades makes their children study only for getting presents, and prevent them studying based on their own curiosity. However, as far as I’m concerned, parents need to prize their kids for good results of exam for two reasons: children can learn achievement from their exertion brings them happiness, and they are able to grow their endurance.
First of all, children could get to know their achievement after dedication confer them happiness. This is because than only with complement for their kids, when they are also able to be congratulated with presents, the memory of achievement remains longer. When I was in middle school, my grade was not so good. One day, my mother suggested if my average grade goes up as much as over 3 points, she will buy an up-to-date cell phone for me. Since I had old and not well functioning one, I was stimulated from her suggestion, and I studied hard. In the end, I got higher grades and come to obtain a new cell phone. I gained more confidence than the time there was no material reward, although my grade was improved, because I could directly see the product of my hard work. In that children are able to memory their accomplishment longer and stronger, and this lead them to gain confidence which would serve as a great asset for next challenge, I strongly believe giving them prize for their good test results.
Also, children grow their endurance from being rewarded for their achievements. This is attributed the fact that if they can gain award when they did a good job, they would be willing to endure hard time. On the other hand, if there is no material reward, they are likely to feel it is more important to relieve stress out at present than tolerant and exert to study, since the former come to them as a bigger. In 2003, the psychological department of California University conducted on the correlation between material awards and accomplishment. The result showed that the students who had got prized had higher tendency to challenge for difficult goals such as acquiring more kinds of certification and entering good university. Since children are likely to be vulnerable for their impulsion, and have inferior endurance, by giving prize for their achievement, parents are able to improve their kids’ tolerance.
To sum up, when children can get award for their excellent job, they could grow their endurance and gain confidence remembered longer which would influence their future challenges. Therefore, I strongly agree that parents should reward their sons and daughter for good test results.
