Do you reward Deans List?

My husband and I expected our daughter to do her best and we told her how pleased we were for her when she was acknowledged in some way. I just never felt right about gift giving for what I viewed as a given…her working hard and doing the best that she could do. If her best work turned out not to be at a level that put her on the honor roll during her younger years or the Dean’s List during college, I didn’t want her to think that I viewed it as any less worthy of an effort. Perhaps I over-thought it at the time but there you are. When she was little we did go out for pizza or chinese if something special happened or if she had a particularly great day.
