We have to bribe her getting into her carseat after daycare. And she just laughs at threats. mrs. wagon on "How often do you use bribes and threats?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-bribes-and-threats#post-1283754 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:43:09 +0000 mrs. wagon 1283754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try to stay away from bribes because Wagon Sr. learns really quickly. Whenever I offer him a sticker for his chart, he immediately asks for 2 or 3 because I've bribed him with an extra sticker in the past. So my bribes just have to get bigger and bigger very quickly. He does however respond really well to threats... so as much as I hate to admit it, I use these several times a day. It's usually the "threat" of a time out, but sometimes I'll resort to a real threat of not going somewhere or not watching tv like I had promised, etc. brownie on "How often do you use bribes and threats?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-bribes-and-threats#post-1283738 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:40:35 +0000 brownie 1283738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am planning on bribing him for speech. He will earn puffs to eat if he participates in his speech class. I am not against bribery. Although I think of it as good consequences. Threats don't work well but we keep doing them. Such as if he pees his pants while watching tv the tv gets turned off.

I just say you have to listen to me or else .... so I use more threats! chopsuey on "How often do you use bribes and threats?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-bribes-and-threats#post-1283605 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:04:58 +0000 chopsuey 1283605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Bribes at least once a day. Haha! :P Mrs. Bee on "How often do you use bribes and threats?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-use-bribes-and-threats#post-1283596 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:01:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1283596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Much more than I'd like to admit! Bribes definitely work, whether it's a video or a snack or even a story. Threats are much less effective with both kids. Charlie almost never responds to threats, and Olive either doesn't understand or doesn't respond to threats of time outs. Still it's hard to stop using them when your patience is at its limit. I wouldn't say we use bribes and threats daily, but we do during the weekends! What about you?
