It is nice to compliment your child for something good he/she did. Be generous with rewards — your love, hugs, and compliments can work wonders and are often reward enough.

She still talks about her. Years ago I knew a women who had gotten a cat for her kids (one of the kids really bonded with the cat). Well the mother decided after about a month she didn't want the cat so while the kids were at school she took the cat to the shelter.
