When giving rewards or praise remember that what is rewarding to one child is not rewarding to another. Many school systems and child care centers use a token response system. In other words, if the child is "good," s/he get a sticker for the day. If the child is "bad" s/he gets some privilege taken away (usually recess which is another tip topic this Emotional-Guru cannot expound enough upon!!) Stickers are not appreciated or rewarding to all children. Some children could care less about what you are taking away, making this behavior management technique useless! The Emotional-Guru offers articles on this subject in the "article section" of this site if you care to read more....
