It's a Major Award!
Day two!
So, the other day, Caleb came home from school with this certificate.
Caleb: I got an award in art class!
Me: That's great! Why'd you get it?
Caleb: 'Cause I was quiet.
Me: *head explodes*
I understand the ins and outs of positive reinforcement. As a parent, I use it all the time. But, this? This is nuts. Want to send an entire generation to hell in a hand basket? Give them awards for doing what they're supposed to do. Now, you'll have to excuse me. I have to bake Katie a cake because she woke up today.
