I'm so excited to have my first guest post on Medha'sMumMusings to be "Are we buckling to our kids by bribing them to do regular work?" by Charu Swaroop.
It’s a well acknowledged doctrine of parenting that bribery is not a good idea and is engaged in by desperate parents who are buckling under kiddy pressure. Is this really true? Before we agree or disagree, it is important to differentiate between a bribe and an incentive. A parent can say “Let’s have a chocolate or read a book before lunch!” and wonder if he or she has just used bribery.
