Earning, not Bribery



We have been having such a hard time getting Ethan to stay in Nursery that we decided to let him earn (aka bribery) a new train set if he stayed. It actually worked.

You do what you have to do. Amalia still sometimes has a hard time.

You do whatever works! We have not had a problem with that yet, thankfully. Good luck.

it is not bribery, it is reinforcing good behavior.

I try to bribe Christian like that during church, too. He hasn't quite earned his new train set yet. He keeps whispering during sacrament meeting. He could learn a thing or two from Ethan.

Hey Megs! Sorry I never got around to e-mailing you, but now I found your blog. :) Your boys are darling! Madilyn is starting to hate nursery all of the sudden. I think it is because Evan gets to come to "my" class and she doesn't. I haven't tried any bribing yet though - good idea. How old are you kids?

Great idea! I'm going to have to remember that in a couple of months when Mase goes to nursery. ~Shal
