Summary/Abstract: It may be presumed that in the upbringing process the most compromising attitude is that supported by the use of both positive and negative reinforcements. In the pedagogical aspect, rewards and punishments are measures consciously applied in educational work, their aim being to trigger change in the behaviour of a young person.Rewards and penalties applied in the upbringing process allow human behaviours to be enhanced positively or negatively. A reward informs about success: the person then does not have a reason for changing their behaviour. A punishment informs about failure, makes one revise one’s actions and change one’s behaviours, although it may also decrease the power to aim for achievement. The aim of this article is to present parents’ opinions on the application of rewards and punishments in the family environment of early education students.
