Instead of taking the time to teach your child empathy and personal responsibility, you want parents to give them a virtual candy bar for doing things so they keep doing them. Reinforcing something I would term as bad motivation (I'll do anything to get virtual coins to spend in a mobile game)

Honestly I'd rather just give them a real candy bar and be done with it.
