Do you want a child who will only do things if there is something in it for him? Do you want to encourage your child to have an unreasonable sense of entitlement, to ask himself, ‘What’s in it for me?’ each time there is a job to be done? Or would you like to teach your child that when he cooperates or works hard, he will feel satisfied by a job well done? That work comes before play? That it is good to consider everybody’s needs? And that because your tot has helped you, you feel pleased with him and perhaps now have energy and time to spend with him? Of course, some of these goals are beyond a toddler’s capacity to understand, but it is worth setting a pattern and developing a family culture around positive values. pinkymckay/bribes-rewards-and-praise-whats-the-difference-and-does-it-matter/
