When kids don’t comply to your instructions, you tell them, “Do it and you will get a surprise gift.” Some parents I know use scoring system (with negative marking) to keep kids focused on living within the rules. Each time they comply, they get certain points. Once these points total up to a certain agreed threshold, they get a surprise gift. This theory gets extended in organizations and teams.
