Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently. When we bailed out banks that had created their own misfortune, we called it a 'moral hazard', because the bailout absolved the bank's bad acts and created an incentive for it to make the same bad loans again.

Tweeting is really only good for one thing — it's just good for tweeting... It is rewarding, because it's just its own reward. It's sort of like heaven.

If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing.

A 'treat' is different from a 'reward', which must be justified or earned. A treat is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. Treats give us greater vitality, which boosts self-control, which helps us maintain our healthy habits.
