Giving grades and gifts for satisfactory performances.

reinforcement in the form of grades, material rewards, additional privileges, and
,recognition provides encouragement and stimulation. A sense of accomplishment
also involves the ability to cooperate, to compete with others, and to cope
effectively with people, so separating children will not promote their mental health.

incapable of developing these skills are also at risk for feelings of inadequacy and
inferiority. Comparison with one another can also cause some children to develop
negative feelings towards themselves, and result in a sense of inferiority.
