Clean Your Plate And I'll Buy You A Car!

According to a new survey, 94% of parents bribe their kids to make them behave. Here are the top nine reasons why:

1. For finishing their chores. 66% of parents said they reward them for it in some way.

2. For getting good grades, 60%.

3. For being good when you bring them shopping, 48%.

4. Potty training, 44%.

5. Eating everything on their plate, 31%.

6. Finishing their homework, 28%.

7. To make them stop crying, 18%.

8. To make them stop fighting with their siblings, 18%.

9. To get them to smile for a photo, 8%.

The survey also asked people what they bribe their kids WITH. The number one answer was an "experience", like a trip to the zoo. Number two was something sweet, like a cookie, followed by toys, more TV time, a later bedtime, and money. Do you bribe your kids? If so, what do you use as an incentive?
