READING SELECTION: Bribing Children Every pаrent hаs bribed, оr cоnsidered bribing, his/her child аt sоme point. Whether it’s for something small, like making a bed – “If you make your bed, I’ll give you a dollar” – or something big, like having a private conversation – “Here, you can play with my iPhone; I need to talk to the doctor.” But does this really work? Recently, journalists Bruce Feiler and KJ Dell’Antonia engaged in an online debate on the question of whether parents should bribe their children. Dell’Antonia, who describes herself as an “unabashed briber”, had successfully paid her four elementary school children to complete their assigned summer reading and planned more bribes for the school year. In her words, “When it comes to certain activities, like reading books or eating nutritious food, what’s wrong with ‘just doing it for rewards’? Those are activities with long-term rewards that don’t necessarily feel fun for children because every child is not mature or motivated enough to put in the work to get there without a reward.” But journalist Bruce Feiler noted practical and moral complications of frequent bribes. In his words, “Bribes don’t work for long, and children begin to negotiate about everything they are asked to do.” They will only do things for a treat - “Sure, I’ll clean my room. How much are you going to give me for that?” Feiler especially opposed monetary rewards, citing research that money tends to make all of us greedier and more selfish. According to Michele Borba, educational psychologist, “Bribing has short-term gain and long-term pain. The pain is that children, in this case, might start losing their intrinsic motivation and be too focused on how much money they are going to get.” Dr. Kenneth Barish, an acclaimed author on child rearing matters, explains that as in most parenting debates, there is truth on both sides of the bribery question. Offering bribes or rewards to children for compliance with basic chores can help parents get through the day with less argument and less stress. Increased cooperation with daily tasks then frees parents to more positively engage in other activities, with their children. Bribery also allows parents to move away from the threat of ‘punishment’, like “If you don’t do this…then you won’t be able to….” This simple change of tone often makes a dramatic difference in their child’s behavior. However, Dr. Barish cautions that when parents frequently give rewards, or think about rewards as the solution to every problem with their child, then it is time to take a step back. For instance, when there is ongoing resistance to doing homework, parents need to find out the causes as the issue may be something other than motivation. Such problems cannot be solved by offering bribes. WRITING PROMPT: Should parents bribe their children? Please support and explain your position in a well-developed essay. Give your essay a title.
