Bribery: Is it good for the kids?

Hello fellow mylotters and moms out there! Bribery sounds so harsh, let me redefine it and call it positive reinforcement. Sometimes, it is really difficult to discipline kids nowadays, personally, I sometimes trade promises to my daughter in order for he to take her bath. Like, I let her eat candy to lure her to the bathroom. What about you?

Maybe, but not all the time- sometimes there is just no other choice than to "bribe" the child. My mom did that to me and my sister when we were kids too. But I think it's more preferable to talk them to do stuff rather than give them food or toys(they might always look for it).
