Is it Ok to Bribe your children?

gadad2 @gadad2 (59) • United States 2 May 07

OK, maybe bribe is not the right word, maybe reward is a better term. When your child does something good, do you reward/bribe them? How do you do it? What do you give them? Do you have problems afterward with them always wanting...
