If it's aimed at kids behaving well in order to earn points (strive for a positive) rather than doing it in order to avoid punishment, than it sounds like a good idea to me. Everything I'd seen indicates that positive reinforcement works much better than negative.
- droithomme 7y agoQuivering in fear of punishment, and thus being motivated by avoidance of punishment, is the very definition of negative reinforcement. Fear of punishment is not positive reinforcement as you are claiming in your comment. Motivation by fear of punishment is negative reinforcement. That's how negative reinforcement works.
