Thank you Melanie Yates-Boothby -your research beautifully highlights the necessity of moving beyond extrinsic rewards and towards an environment that fosters self-regulation and emotional resilience. The link between autonomy, wellbeing, and engagement is well-documented, yet many settings still rely on outdated reward systems that overlook the complex nature of children's motivation.
