IMHO depends on the individual. My parents couldn't motivate me when I was younger and still cannot motivate me. Only I can do that for myself. Nothing they tried ever worked.
My sister on the other hand, she went for those rewards that were praise oriented, not material.
Again, depends on the individual, because the praise didn't mean much to me either.
