Please enjoy this episode number 40 of the Pre K Teach and Play podcast entitled “Praise, Rewards, and Punishment: the good, the bad, and the ugly.” In this episode, hosted by Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, I am joined by Dr. Shauna Tominey and Alyssa Blask Campbell to reflect upon the use of these practices with children. Spoiler alert: we offer the “brain reasons” for why these common practices might not be as effective as you think. In fact, they might be harmful in the long run. This is an introduction to this topic. For more, please look through my articles, videos, and trainings offered on this website or email me with your questions!
