It was great how the author structured the article with bulleted points on how to help kids “ease up” on rules and find a healthy balance between what they think is a “good” or “bad” action. This made it easy to follow along.
Fascinating read about how some kids’ tenacity to be avid rule followers can be tied to their desire to either get a reward or to their fear of punishment. #umassdev22#week14 https://t.co/cWMdLHEiva

The way the author presents the study’s findings and supports their solutions with the studying’s findings made the solutions all the more compelling to the reader. The idea of possibly framing asking for help as socially desirable was cool!
Interesting to read about why kids are nervous to ask for help, especially in classrooms. It gives insights into how kids don’t want to be perceived as “stupid” to others by asking too many questions. #umassdev22#week12 https://t.co/rI0cxNjXB4
