Great writeup and it got me thinking how people don't encourage good behavior or discourage bad behavior in real life enough.
Like if we want to see more of a certain behavior, we should reward it when we see it and the opposite is true as well.

I think the biggest consequence of teaching good behaviors is fatigue. I am certainly building up my stamina with children, but they're MY kids. I don't know that people can keep up the effort unless they have a personal stake. Although, the reward should be the observation or accomplishment of that good behavior.
Yes, I know what you mean with kids... it can get really, really tiring. With adults, people tend to be less patient and switch to 'punishment' faster if they continue to exhibit bad behavior.
Very true. People often want to be liked, but we don't give them the opportunity to adjust.
They can't adjust to you, if you don't tell them what you like or dislike.
