IE. he is often terrible to get into the car after daycare or hard to get back in the stroller to leave the park so I might make sure to have a snack with me. Instead of waiting for him to start fighting his car seat or the stroller, I just hand him a snack and buckle him in. Not sure if that is bribery or just smart parenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bribery#post-2466702 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:24:01 +0000 .twist. 2466702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually bribe him to eat his dinner. </p> <p>"you can have a pokey stick if you eat some chicken!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bribery#post-2466698 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:22:45 +0000 mediagirl 2466698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all know we're not supposed to bribe your kids. I don't find myself doing it often at all unless I really need something. Example: I have a picky kid when it comes to clothing. I need her to try on some dresses to see which one fits best so I can send the rest back. I will offer her M&amp;M's for letting me get her dressed in 6 different outfits. :silly: </p> <p>When do you bribe your kids? </p>
