Not really no. When they were younger, I would set up incentives though.

Now they're in high school and there's enough consequences (they're all in sports and can't play in games if their grades are bad) and I let them do their thing and occasionally remind them of consequences. Also, that trying and failing isn't necessarily bad and is often good.

It's better to let them learn about consequences/cause and effect without much of a safety net before adulthood.
