LEGO® rewards Feedback Thread – Non testers: what occasions do you usually reward your children for? 10 MNers will win a LEGO® set of their choice worth £50 *NOW CLOSED*

[AngelieMumsnet]

This thread is for the 30 Mumsnetters who are currently participating in the LEGO® reward activity.

Here’s what LEGO® have to say: “Here at LEGO®, we’re interested to see what occasions you would consider rewarding or treating your kids with LEGO®? A great school report. Holiday treats. Good behaviour on a trip to the dentist. Helping in the garden. Tidying their room. Mum's little star. There is a great LEGO® gift idea starting from £2.49 that is fun, creative and made for every occasion. With so many sets to choose from, we think LEGO® is a fantastic gift for every occasion and we’d like you to tell us about it!”

Non-Testers: LEGO® would love to know what occasions you usually reward your children for. Everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where 10 Mumsnetters will receive a LEGO® set of your choice worth £50.

Testers: We'll be asking you to add feedback three times - we'd like your first impressions now and at the end of each week of the testing period, we’d like to know when you rewarded your DCs with a LEGO® set, if at all.

So for your first impressions, we’d like to know:

• Which LEGO® sets did you receive?
• Which of your DCs would you be rewarding, if a reward/treat situation arises during the testing period?
• Over the testing period, are there any particular occasions (other than Birthdays, of course!) which you think might be a suitable time to reward your DCs with LEGO®?

Every tester who posts their feedback will be entered into a prize draw, where one winner will receive a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

Usually reward them when they do something good without being asked like tidying their rooms!

Non-tester here.

We always reward for good behaviour, especially if they have done well at school.
They are always made to tidy their rooms and knowing that they will get some Lego is a good incentive to do it.

Non tester. We reward Emily for positive behaviour, such as doing as we ask her. It is much better to reward positive behaviour than punish negative.

I reward my kids for helping eachother, playing nicely and offering to tidy up/do a job without being asked to do so. So I reward positive behaviour

Good behaviour - but now they are bigger, it needs to be something more than just what I would expect of them. I don't reward saying please and thank you like I did when they were three anymore. They need to have shown an act of kindness or similar that is not just expected!

Non tester - we rewards for effort and achievement in school and also for my eldest who plays for a football team as a goalkeeper - he gets rewarded if his team wins and en extra reward for keeping a clean sheet

I reward for good behaviour and doing homework.x

Non tester here.

My 8 year old son earns stars for good work, good behaviour and doing things he doesn't enjoy. He can decide when he cashes in his stars for a reward which is usually ninjago or Star Wars lego. He keeps a track of the stars, we agree the number of stars required for different types of lego.

None tester here. We reward laddo if he's had a particularly good day at school and an extra special reward if he has achieved 'star of the week'

Good grades and being well behaved in public places :-)

Money for his piggy bank which he usually uses to buy lego.

I usually reward keeping his room tidy, schoool work etc..

I reward them for tidying there rooms and getting good grades in their homework

Non tester here - My son is lego mad and we reward good school reports or achievements with a set of his current lego favourite, which at the moment is lego Arctic

We have a weekly homework chart, it includes maths, spellings, music, set homework and reading to be completed a few times a week on different days. If everything is ticked off by the end of the week they get to choose a small reward.

I am a non tester, and my son has also just completed his sats, and for this I would like to reward him, it is a lot of pressure for 11 year olds, we do reward good behaviour, on sundays he has to clean and tidy his room, which we then give him his pocket money, although it is a small chore it does give some responsibility and ownership which I feel is important.

Non tester here. I usually reward them for achieving anything new or trying something new. I would probably be looked upon as spoiling them but if I can afford it and they have been good then why not.

I do tend to incentivise (must not use the word bribe...) them with a lego minifigure if they can behave on the big shop day. :)

We do the same when we go to Bluewater. The lego shop is always the last shop we visit so they can pick a kit for being good or make some figures to take home. I love lego and see it as a universal toy. We cannot get enough of it in our house.

Non tester - I reward my son when he does something great, like going to the toilet all by himself, picking his toys up when asked and so on but only with a chocolate button or something small with a load of praise. When my son spent his 1st day at nursery all by himself then it was time to pull out the big guns and he got to choose a Lego set

Non tester ... We reward our boys behaviour with swimming trips at the moment this is great because it gives the boys a goal to aim for to behave plus great for us because its learning them to swim for our holidays .

Always reward the children for tidying their rooms! Although it'd be easier if I rewarded them for trashing them haha! Happy tuesday!

I'm a non tester.

Good behaviour and being kind

Non tester - I reward my children for good behaviour, doing well at school and helping around the house.

I reward if my child has done well/worked hard at school, test results, certificates or something that they had found hard to succeed with and they managed to do it

Non tester----we usually have rewards for good school reports /achievements.

I reward good sharing - generosity should be recognised with more generosity
