Excluding my own methods, I was thinking about the use of only positive reinforcement.

If you consider reinforcement on a scale, say from -10 to +10, with +10 being the most positive, then isn't a 0 just as bad as a -10?

Subsequently, won't you have to bombard the child with positive praise and reinforcement on a consistent basis so that the lack of it bears punishment?

Or even worse... being used to constant positive stimulus means the child will become dependent on it?
