    AnnotationThe article presents results of qualitative research focused on the child concept of reward and punishment. The research sample included 20 five-seven year old children from the Czech Republic. The main objective of the research was to discover and analyze specific differences in reward and punishment concepts with children before the beginning of compulsory school attendance (pre-primary school age, 5 6-year old) and after the beginning of compulsory school attendance (1st graders, primary school age, 6 7-year old, 1st graders). Reflecting the main difference between the groups (i.e. non-/attendance of the school), the method of watching a short (7min 22 s) animated movie with direct plot line and clear personal features of main characters, followed by children's drawings was applied. The drawing was expected to express what the children considered the reward and punishment in the movie. The drawings underwent the content analysis, the result of which was confronted with each child within the phenomenographic interview. Further on, child anamnesis relating to school, family and health state was monitored, and collected concepts of each child were considered within the complex anamnesis. The results show the reward phenomenon is mostly understood on the material level (receiving gifts), then on the verbal level (been verbally praised), on the social and experiential levels. On the other side, the punishment is predominantly perceived on the social level (exclusion from a certain social group and its activities), then on the verbal and corporal levels (admonition, threat of corporal punishment). The research results were reflected in recommendations towards increasing the effectiveness of educators' work in the given groups of children. Generally, a higher level of sensitivity against stress under the conditions of direct confrontation with any authority or threat of corporal punishment should be considered by the educators in the researched groups of children. Simultaneously, the increase in the importance of the position of educators and their tools of reward and punishment was discovered, particularly the positive role of reward, even if i tis in the written and verbal, not material forms.
