Bribery - Kids

Tweet

I think there is a very thin line between bribery and rewarding especially when it comes to an innocent mind of children. From childhood, people are exposed to different kinds and way of bribery. Just like on the photo, that made me really, really guilty when my sister, her boyfriend and I did something really bad to a cousin (kid on the pic). When we made him cry and tried to stop him thru giving stuffs like, chocolates, hologram photos of wrestling celebs and money. I realized my super wrong deed, I asked God for forgiveness, also apologized to the kid and explained to him that what we did was really terrible especially for grown ups who should be good examples esp for young people. To make up we went out, and again explained to him that we feel sorry for playing his emotions. Kids are kids, always have a forgiving heart and mind to be well guided. Unlike rewarding, we do that when someone did something good but still we also have to be cautious that what we're doing wouldn't affect a young mind that material things can pay everything, even good deeds or bad to be good. A very good lesson to me! We should never underestimate children's way of thinking, never ever! Quite long but thanks for your time! You may share your views on this, anything. Thanks for reading!
