I repeat. Learning from success, not failure. To teach a dog, it's best not to beat but to give lots of little rewards. To teach a child, they need to learn to self-reward as in 'Hey, I'm really good and have meaning and purpose and can succeed'. External reward is also great to develop feelings of belonging as in 'Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it. You are in my/our gang too!' As my father used to say, umpty decades ago, 'If I had a donkey, and he wouldn't go, do you think I'd beat him? Oh dear no. I'd put him in a stable and give him some corn. Best little donkey, ever was born.' I assume that's an old child rhyme. Of course for a human, we want a LOT more than swarms of donkeys. We want self-actualizing people who create wonderful reality out of thin air, the four forces of the apocalypse, and their knowledge, understanding, intelligence, imagination and effort. Fortunately, over the last couple of hundred years especially, but starting a few thousand years ago, humans have developed cognitive power to do just that, instead of continuing millions of years of hunter-gatherer alpha male tribal territorial genocidal dominance hierarchy found-wealth conquering and confiscation.
