题目内容
14.As children return to school this fall and sign up for a new year's worth of extracurricular(课外的)activities,parents should keep one question in mind.Whether your kid loves Little League or gymnastics,ask the program organizers this:"Which kids get awards?"If the answer is"Everybody gets a souvenir",please find another program.I have spent years reporting on the effects of praise and rewards on kids.The science is clear.
Awards can be powerful motivators(动力),but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed.
Instead.it can make them fail to realize their full potential.
It turns out that,once kids are expert in a task,the excitement and uncertainty of real competition may become the activity'S very appeal.
If children know they will automatically get an award,what is the motivator for improvement?
Why bother learning problem-solving skills,when there are never obstacles to begin with?
It's accepted that,before punishing children,we must consider their individual levels of cognitive(认 知 的)and emotional development.Then we monitor them,changing our approach if there's a negative outcome.However,when it comes to rewards,people argue that kids must be treated equally:Everyone must always win.That is misguided.And there are negative outcomes.Not just for specific children,but for society as a whole.
"In life,you're going to lose more often than you win,even if you're good at something,"Ms.
Twenge told me."You've got to get used to that to keep going."
When children make mistakes,our job should not be to spin those 10sses into decorated victories.Instead,our job is to help kids overcome barriers,to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss,and to help them politely congratulate the child who succeeded even when they failed.
This school year,let's fight for a kid's right to lose.
