What are material benefits?

Material benefits are gifts or rewards you get because you did something good.

Imagine you're playing a game where you collect coins. Every time you collect 10 coins, you get a special prize, like a sticker or a lollipop. Those prizes are your material benefits. They’re real things you can touch and use, just like the coins.

Material benefits are like the treats you get after doing something fun or helpful. If you help clean up your room, maybe you get to watch your favorite show, that's a material benefit! It’s not magic; it's just a way to say “good job!”

Sometimes, when you work hard at school or do chores, you might get extra candy or a toy. That’s also a material benefit, something real and exciting.

So next time you get a reward, remember: that’s your brain saying, “You did great!” with a little gift attached.
