I’m still digesting the key message: You should not praise your kid. Kohn argues that – on a fundamental level – praising has the same effect on a kid as punishing has. You communicate (by positive or negative reinforcement) that your love is conditional on him or her acting the way you approve of. As you condition the child to act in line with what you want, it becomes focused on the effects her actions have for herself, rather than for others. If you praise your child for sharing a cookie with her friend, she might do it again – but not because she understands that it’s a nice thing to do, but because she will seek that praise again.
