13. Boost Effectiveness with Rewards

Positive reinforcement seals a successful launch

The case method storytelling does not work its miracle without immediate, positive reinforcement for choosing the right answer. I have concluded this from my own experience and from talking with parents and caregivers who have tried the case method with their children. Not giving a prize right away for answering correctly has been one of the top reasons for an unsuccessful launch of the case method miracle. Do not let that happen with your process!

Positive rewards for choosing the right answer help in at least three ways. First, they help make the process fun, giving it momentum. What good does it do if you quit after a few tries? Second, the rewards promote an encouraging environment for learning—a growth mindset—whether your child made a good or bad choice in his own life. You praise your child for knowing how to make a wise decision, affirming your love for him via the reward. Third, the rewards are your tool to communicate to your child what he wants the most, your love and approval. At Harvard Business School I wanted to give insightful case answers to gain respect from my professor and my peers. But your child does not want your respect, he wants your love and approval.
