Extra pocket money as a promotion method in studies. There are several methods of promotion and motivation that are used to make children study well. Some parents use system of moral encouragements, other parents give presents, and the third type uses money as a universal motivator. Child psychologist’s opinions which method is the most effective are differ as all of them have disadvantages and pitfalls. The most ambiguous method is promotion children with money. Lots of childcare professionals consider it as one of the most effective methods and offer to try next model of its application- during the week or a month parents should put a small stones in a box for each good mark and then, in the end of the week, after counting the number of stones, give their children honestly earned salary. A definite plus of this method is in development of motivation to “earn” as much as possible. Thus child expert’s advice is not to overlook the way children spend their “salaries”- analyzing the spending with the child, parents can help to teach him properly and profitably manage their earnings. In spite of these advantages, it seems that this method has lot of minuses. First of all children get used to study only for some encouragements. The process of studying and getting knowledge become unimportant and depreciate for children. The second, equally important aspect is growing appetites and needs of today’s children. At some point, parents may find that their budget is not stand up for their child’s queries. Based on my own experience I’ve come to believe that none of material incentives can be compared with the simple moral support. Paying attention to the child, encouraging and teaching him to find a pleasure of studying parents can achieve results great results, because when the child is interested in studying all the promotions go to the wayside. However, it’s the right of all the parents to decide which promotion method to use. They can try to think of their own system or use any of methods mentioned above. It seems that the most optimal variant is to combine all of them.
