B.R.I.B.E.R.Y

Last week we told Zeik if he stayed on green all week at school, we would buy him a new xbox game. Yes we have resorted to bribery. Well it worked! It was such a relief not have "bad"notes home from the teacher. But we are all bribed and we all bribe. Like at work in the manager meeting we were talking about how to motivate people to be more productive. I say, it's called a paycheck but others think we should be more creative.
Now we have to motivate Ziek with something else. I'm thinkin' a pain free butt.
Let's clarify something though (for all you "bubble" parents) You shouldn't bribe your kids to do things that are character issues. Like telling the truth, be respectful, manners etc... If you do bribe them for these attributes then they aren't really developing good character. Which is what we all want from our kids. Of all the bad behaviours we have to deal with having children nothing reflects more on us as parents than bad character.
Good character has to be taught and is often only taught through imitation. Be the person you want your kids to grow up to be.
