Jared and Anna have been working on some goals and as a reward in accomplishing their goals they each picked out a movie they wanted to see. Jared's goal was practicing the piano everyday without complaining. He really wanted to see the new Harry Potter movie so it made for the perfect incentive(bribe). We surprised him one school day afternoon and picked him up and went to the movie theater. He could not have been more excited. He is such a great kid!
Anna has been working on her own little list and her incentive/bribe was to go see Tangled. She loved the date we had and the movie.
Not sure how I feel about the whole bribery thing even though it produced results, but I loved spending one on one time with the kids.

I call it positive reinforcement. Soon the reward of accomplishing will be enough; until then a little help from mom & dad is okay!
What ever happened to a good old fashion wooden spoon?
