This is confusing to me. How do you tell a child that they can't do something, and that they have to do something else that isn't their first, second, third option and not have it be a punishment, regardless of how you frame it? What else would it be?
Anyway, this TED talk seems to suggest you are on the wrong track: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html
Looking at Lawrence Kohlberg's 6 levels of moral development, this system seems to get the children to think all the way up to level 2.
