Today I bribed Cass!
I told Cass that if she would let me record a video her dancing and singing to Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass song, I would give her a reward *evil mum* Â Â Now she is bugging me to shoot the video so that she can claim her reward!
Coz I think Cass looks too cute when she sings and dances to that song.
But don’t shoot me just yet. Â My main purpose is not to show off how cute she is when she sings and moves her booties to the song of All About That Bass. Â I want to record the video for remembrance sake. Â For her to watch it when she grows up. Â And for me to watch it many moons down the road and have a good chuckle all by myself when my babies have left the nest.
Would you bribe your child to do something similar to this? Â Do you think I am teaching her the wrong thing? Â That by bribing, you can get anything that you want?

Yep, I bribe my boy too.. Like, he gets a Kinder Egg (he calls it the surprise egg) if he finishes his rice.. Or he gets a Vitagen if he wakes up early and change into his school uniform in the morning without making a big hoo-haa and showing tantrums.. But the bribe I always offer is chocolate milk or Vitagen if he finishes his rice, coz he is so skinny..
SO I am not the only evil mum eh? lol!
It is called positive reinforcement, sounds better than bribing! Listen, we as adults still live on this system, and never too early to start!
Chris, positive reinforcement sounds so much better and does not make me feel like an evil mother! LOL!
Even as adults when we do a piece of work, we will be given a reward as in monetary terms (salary) so you are just rewarding Cass for singing and dancing for you to record.
