B2 – Upper intermediate<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is it bribing and when is it a reward? It’s become a normal practice for most parents to give children something in return for good behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the  article below to know what’s wrong with modern-day parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some parents promise a child dessert if they finish their Brussels sprouts. Some parents\u00a0purchase\u00a0a video game if a child does well on a test. These shouldn’t be called treats or rewards. Promises of desserts, toys, or favors are bribes, especially when they are given for everyday,\u00a0appropriate\u00a0behavior.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parenting experts agree that rewards are important. But some parents have gone too far. They pay their children to brush their teeth, go to sleep early, or even score a few goals at a soccer tournament! This may\u00a0achieve\u00a0results in the short term. But in the long term, children can become adults with an\u00a0unrealistic\u00a0viewpoint of the world. They think, “What are you going to give me?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern world is partly to\u00a0blame. There are many more material goods than before. In addition, both parents must now work and be parents full-time. It’s easier to bribe a child than to have a power struggle. However, with each bribe, children\u00a0demand\u00a0more and more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it’s perfectly all right to reward children from time to time. The action should equal the reward, though.<\/em>\\<\/p>\n\n\n\n
