Rewarding with Love, NOT Food


If you reward your children for good behaviour with a special food treat, you’re not alone. Many parents find it tempting to use food as a reward for good behaviour. However, rewarding children with food is not the best idea as it sends the wrong message about the role of food in their lives. Let Truestar give you the information you need so you learn to reward your kids with love, not food.



Rewarding with FOOD
When food is commonly used as a reward or punishment, this teaches a child to rely on food for the wrong reasons. Our bodies need food for nourishment and nutrition, NOT for feeling valued. If children are used to being rewarded for good behavior with food, they will continue to seek rewards of food as they grow up. This confuses children and they may begin to eat not because of hunger, but rather for emotion and self-love.
