Personally I feel that motivation is something that's practically self driven and it basically drills down to how badly the person really feels for his goal. In other words, how burning his desire is when it comes to the goal itself and how much he really wants it. The rewards is more of like an icing to the cake I guess. In the case of your friend, it's imperative to help him reassess the root cause of why he wasn't motivated to come to work. Is it due to a lack of interest in his job scope, lack of recognition of his work efforts or is he even . By pinpointing this and correctly guiding him to setting passionate work goals which is better aligned to his personal objectives, it's more effective than just administering rewards on a standalone basis. @Anwar You’re too kind.

I have just finish counseling a friend of mine about how he can be motivated to come to work everyday and your ideas seem to be the perfect solution. I'd love to learn more about motivation from you too if you are willing to teach. Thank you so much. Hai Ellesse,

Children has the greatest impact on their parents and by learning & growing with their children, I'm sure the inmates will obtain tremendous leverage in their own success! You're right to say that the question's very broad, because the suitability of the reward will really depend on the teen's background. For example, if the parent has a curfew imposed on the teenager, lifting it for one day to thank him for his good behaviour would be a great reward. Or if the kid comes from relatively financially disadvantaged family, a trip to the departmental store where he gets to select 1 piece of candy / toy of his choice would be considered delightful. Instead of going tangent and writing all sorts of possible rewards, I would suggest that you get your students to brainstorm based on the things they thought their kids would love. Make it a round robin basis (everyone gets their turn to suggest) and get everyone's feedback... By the end of the class, you should have a list of rewards that you can use! I really hope I've answered to your question and yes, I really appreciate you for asking! Hey Nikki, thanks for your inspiring work.

I am teaching a goal setting class to inmates which they will implement with their children once they are released. This information is very helpful. I do have a question though; do you have any suggestions for rewards for children ages 8-18? I know that is a very broad question and it depends on the child's goal, but if there were some ideas to get the guys' minds thinking, it could help. I would really like for them to create a "Rewards Bottle" as you have suggested above. Thanks so much! -Nikki Ellesse,
