Wholesale Toys When I was a little kid, I was always excited as most little kids
are by large collections of toys. Whether it was a friend's toy chest
seen for the first time, or the wholesale toy treasure chest at the
dentist's office, there to reward us for suffering through the
terrifying torture of the mechanical chair, I was always amazed when I
saw such riches. Everyone gets this feeling at some point in their life.
I suppose it is what makes us like stories of pirates and treasure
chests when we are growing up. Maybe it is the fascination with the
objects of playfulness, or perhaps it is a simple acquisitiveness that
is genetically bred into us. Whatever the reason, we want it, and we
want it all. Because they were cheap wholesale toys, my parents could afford to be
rather generous. As a matter of fact, me and my sister would receive a
wholesale toy several times a week, provided that we behaved. My parents
were pretty smart about how they did it. They didn't explicitly bribe
us, and never offered us the promise of a reward. If, however, we
behaved well, we would often be surprised. We never knew if we would
receive a wholesale toy at the end of a particular day, but we knew that
we certainly wouldn't if we didn't behave. This variable reward system
kept us constantly in line. BF Skinner would have been proud of my mom
and dad! Not only did they prove how well conditioning works, but they
did it with very little negative feedback. All they needed were a few
bright shiny wholesale toys for some rather acquisitive youngsters.
