Tom
Tom (4 years) had an upsetting experience with stickers. He was upset because he thought that everyone got one and he did not. Tom's father went to the school to find out why Tom was being singled out. His Educator was quite surprised by Tom’s father's concern. She told him, “I don't know why he is worried. Each week I give a different child a sticker for helping. It just hasn't been Tom's turn yet. Tom will have his turn by the end of the year.”
Describe why this is an inappropriate use of concrete rewards?
Please give some idea

My response is taken from the information I provided above...
Using concrete rewards can become an ongoing pattern that ultimately teaches the child to act out to get what they want.

This way an Educator can set a goal and children can better understand the routine. though it is an appropriate in such away that if a parent is asking to have his chid a reward she should be flexible a bit to change it and speak to their parents that next would be his turn rather than saying that it’s not his turn and it would come at the end of the year or provide him a sticker for his good creativity let suppose if he is taking part in activity so he can have a sticker.
IS it correct for above question?

Using concrete rewards can become an ongoing pattern that ultimately teaches the child to act out to get what they want. Tom will be reluctant to help because he knows he will not get a sticker... If he doesn't help and the educator says "I'll give you a sticker if you pack away" then he will just do it for the sake of the sticker then go back to acting out. Every time he wants something he can "act out" to ultimately get what he wants...
