In this episode of Teach, Task Box, Inspire, host Lisa Hollady breaks down the difference between positive reinforcement and bribery—and why that difference matters more than you think. With real-life examples from her own summer adventures (think grocery store trips, beach day prep, and chore battles), Lisa brings this strategy to life in a relatable, practical way. You’ll hear how intentional reinforcement helps reduce power struggles, encourages independence, and supports students with diverse needs. Whether you're a seasoned special educator or just prepping for back-to-school, this episode will help you rethink how and why you reinforce behavior—at home and in the classroom.
