I agree that kids respond well to reward systems, but also agree that basing your entire relationship on “here’s a scooby snack” isn’t really the worldview I want to promote. A happy medium of the two is recommended.
However, rewarding kids with the prize of staring at a tv screen for longer hours is a pretty terrible idea, unless the context is these kids don’t watch TV or use computers at all, except for these time tokens. The last thing kids need is more time in front of these damn machines (like the one I’m using right now.)
