Interesting - my mom should have given me money instead of spankings... The author of a new book beleives that "money" can motivate children to learn. Don't get me wrong I agree money is a big motivator - but to learn?

Personally, I hate the fact that parents interfere a lot in their children life. And I think that parents role is limited to teach their kids the right and the wrong, not to spur and help them a lot in their studies. Because, when parents are too careful for their children career, that's mean that they are afraid if their children doesn't succeed, they won't enjoy a better life conditions, they will get tired... Gradually, children will be scared of the destiny and this is not good. It's not good to begin a life with a scared personality!
