It’s Tuesday – I am bored, so it time for a little bit of fun!
Who has ever bribed their kids, go on, admit it if you have…I have…
There are certainly times when my child has been in the throes of a rather unpleasant tantrum that I have said:
If you stop that now, I’ll read you an extra story at bedtime!
So, because I am interested to know whether I am the only one doing this, we are doing a very brief 1 minute survey on the topic – so why don’t you take part…it will be fascinating to see the results. Completely anonymous of course. I’ll take a look at the results and write something super for you all about it afterwards – promise.
*Goes to search for market analyst head she left at her last job*
Just because I admit to doing it, doesn’t mean that you all have to as well though, be honest of course. I won’t feel left out ;-)
NOTE: If you want to do this survey AND have a chance of winning a £100 voucher to spend on the Experience Days gift website, then visit this post to do the survey instead!

Since giving up being a business analyst when juggling travel, work and kids proved too complicated, she founded KiddyCharts so she could be with her kids, and use those grey cells at the same time. KiddyCharts has reach of over 1.1million across social and the site. The blog works with big family brands (including travel) to help promote their services, as well as offering free resources to parents of kids under 10. It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters.

Nice survey and I strongly agree that parents bribe their kids and most of the time it works. I am also part that my father used to do it.

LOL, I don't even have kids just yet but I have been known to bribe my nieces and nephews. Not with money though. It's usually with treats. :) Reading the response here, I don't feel so wicked now.

Great article! And, yes!! I bribe them all the time! Food is a great incentive (they are only small)!!! But, hey- don't we all work on bribery??? we work.. we get paid!! it's all about positive reinforcement!!!
