Education / Pedagogy
Education
These two terms are taught to elementary children to teach them how nicer it is for all to give a "warm fuzzy" instead of a "cold prickly". These will teach children to avoid peer pressure, making keeping friends, decision making and problem solving for now and in the future.

English term (edited):
warm fuzzies/cold pricklies
estimulos calidos y positivos/estimulos frios y negativos
I think that in spanish you'll need some kind of substantive and use "warm", "fuzzy", "cold" and "prickly" merely as adjectives. It would be easier and clearer. So, I propose the use of "incentive" ("estímulo"), so to say, the means with whom you can make a person react in some way. I would propose "estímulos cálidos y positivos" and "estímulos fríos y negativos".I hope I gave you some help...???
