Some parents tend to use money as an incentive for their kid’s good behavior, getting good grades, or even performing well in sporting events. Although, recent studies have shown that this monetary reward may be detrimental to the child’s overall development. Some research has even suggested that using sticker charts even goes to far in creating a false reward economy for a child. Overall, parents should strive for their children to earn success through satisfaction, rather than money.

• Some studies have gone as far as saying sticker charts are detrimental for a child’s development.
