Or do you just say Well done?

Yes, give her a little something, she'll appreciate that.

Isn't the 'reward', the result in itself? they've worked hard and got great results or report, personally, that's what I would impress my DC.

All my children received £1 each time they got a school report or had a parents evening . Was the same £1 when they graduated from uni .
i don’t believe in attaching a lot of monetary value to school work etc as some kids are just not as good at it and then they would miss out . Reward the effort more than the result .

'her' dc? Whose child is she, your partner's?

If you are close to the child, by all means reward her; buy her something or give her money. That's a nice thing to do.

It was meant to say’Your’ 😔

No. Nor do we give cash for good exam grades
