Carrot and stick is an approach to motivation used by managers. Carrots stand for rewards while sticks stand for penalties. It is based on the belief that people are motivated by hope and fear. Rewards alone are not sufficient to motivate people.
On the basis of the above definition and a study of your lessons, critically analyse the different types of parenting.
Carrot and stick motivation is a motivational approach that involves offering a “carrot” (a reward—for good behavior) and a “stick” (a negative consequence for poor behavior).In short, carrots for good performance and sticks for unacceptable performance. It is believed that a ‘carrot and stick’ policy in parenting always gives the desired results.
ReplyDeleteFrom the lesson His First Flight written by Liam O’Flaherty. With reference to the story, the mother seagull was the one who helped her child overcome his fear of flight. This tells us how parents always support us and help us through our weaknesses and make us physically and mentally a much stronger person. With the help of his mother the baby seagull was able to overcome his fear of flight and eventually started flying. Probably the seagull’s parents have learnt this lesson through their experience. That is why they were following the carrot
and stick policy. They were motivating him and threatening him at the same time. This shows that a balance of love and discipline is essential for parents to ensure that the children follow the right path to success.
