Punishment and rewards are 2 sides of the same coin. They are both about power and control. They get temporary obedience but at a large cost. They promote self interest, and fail kids by impending the social, emotional, and ethical growth. Alfie Kohn The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint ATN

The more you reward- the less people care about they have to do to get the reward. - Alfie Kohn The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint ATN

Praise like good job add strings that kids have to earn our love and acceptance. Kids need to know that our love is not in doubt- that is the opposite of the definition of positive reinforcement. They need to know we love them for who they are not what they do! Alfie Kohn

What’s the alternative? Meet their 3 human needs: Autonomy (voice), Belonging (connection), Competence (good at what matters to me). Alfie Kohn The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint ATN

Kids learn how to make good decisions by making decisions- at an individual level and a classroom level. Alfie Kohn ATN The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint

"Reframing is a crucial starting-point for breaking a stress cycle: recognizing that your problems aren't due to a lack of willpower/character flaw, but the result of ⬆️ level of tension casued by stressors, many of which you likely haven't even recognized yet." #ShankerWisdom
