Is it really appropriate for parents to bribe thier kids bribe can be either in monetary form or material like food or candies...can this act cause problem in future...thank you

If it motivates, I don't think it's a bad idea. And it doesn't become a habit whereby the child does what is right, in expectations of gifts. The parent needs to make the child understand it's not a right.

About if it may be a problem in future, the parent should not have made it a habit, that is gratification for being good, everytime. It will be a problem if the child is spoilt, not reprimanded when bad, and bribed to be/when good. Carrot and stick.

I think u have a point there..gracious

Let's look at it from children below 18yrs

These set of children likes being motivated, recognised and loved to get the best from them

If you promise them something if the get good position in class

They sees it as a target, work hard for it and get it, show it to you and right there they will remind you of your promise

Among them in the house, thats the beginning of academic competition

To me it's not bribery but a kind of motivation

Bribe is when you give out money to get what you want

But in their own case, you are giving out a gift to get the best in them
