year with homework and projects taking over your child's life. as parents, you'd probably try anything to get your kids to do well had school. >> many parents incentivize their kids pie baying them for good grades. >> what are you teaching them by doing that? solutions author of a really, really terrific book called "the me, me, me epidemic." >> and with us, psychologist and mother of two, a good friend of ours dr. dale atkins. hi, guys. >> so glad the two of you are here. you are really wise women and we need a lot of wisdom right now in this world. don't we? >> amy, you have take an stand. wrote something for "today parenting" and say, no, do not pay for grades. >> on the surface it may seem to make sense. really, 40 years of research proves that using external rewards to motivate a behavior, in this case paying for grades, actually diminishes internal

so while we dangle the carrot, the kid performs for the payout rather than for the love of learning and interest in a subject. the other issue, it's not sustainable. what happens when $5 for an a is no longer motivating? up the ante to $10 or $15? the kid doesn't like math. cost $20 keep to keep them motivated? >> are kids motivated by money? do you work harder thinking you'll get $5 for an a? the motivation has to be appropriate for the child. i agree totally will with amy. what we really want to do, help kids feel good about themselves and learners and if we teach them how to learn and focus on the process rather than the grade, and really give them encouragement for paying attention, for doing things on their own, and teaching them how to do that, they will get this feeling of joy and love of learning, and accomplishment,

feeling good about themselves. >> self-esteem. >> feeling positive about that interesting, because our "today" producers talked about this. this actually blew up in a meeting because a lot of the producers got paid for grades and wound up working here at 30 rock and said, look. it worked for us. >> that's terrible. >> you're right. the first three hours, they got us. >> what does that mean? it does work for some. >> see? >> so to your point, these were probably people who were pretty motivated to begin with. right? >> definitely. >> getting paid for grades is like a bonus. sure, liked it, but did it really change their behavior? think of the less man motivated kid. if cash is your primary vehicle, it's never sustainable. like putting bad dates on

isn't that kid motivated? is he discouraged? have a learning difference? a power struggle? unless we dig into that, no amount of payment will ever keep that kid motivated learn term. >> and often the parents are not willing to look any closer and say, what really might be going on? maybe a kid's embarrassed in school or bullying? to the point amy made if a child does have a learning difference, you can dangle as much money as you want. they're still not able to do it unless they learn the way they're supposed to learn, and then they are motivated, because they've had success. there are many ways to incite kids and give wonderful incentives meaningful for them. i don't know a parent who time with my kid. make that part of the incentive. let's work on this together. you've done well, praise them. let's spend time together. >> great advice, ladies. >> i love when we went on an up note. it's so rare. >> excellent. >> for more strategies to motivate your child in school go to our website. this should motivate you to stick around. we are giving away a big prize. >> spanky tuesday day. find out if you're a lucky winner.
