Earlier this year，my oldest daughter got braces(矫正器)on her teeth，and let’s just say she did not go quietly into that dentist’s chair．Fear and hate pretty much describe the days leading up to her first appointment．So when she finally walked out with shiny teeth，a sore(疼痛的)mouth and a broken spirit，I told her I was proud of her and took her to Ben &Jerry’s for an ice cream reward．Two weeks later，we returned to the scene of the crime．The dentist spent about 45 seconds checking her teeth before sending her on her merry way．
Before I could start the car, she was placing her ice cream order．She was shocked when I told her that she wasn't going to get a reward every time we get her teeth checked．Clearly，she’s not alone．
According to some parenting experts，kids are easily addicted to a benefit—producing system of parental rewards and bribes—it’s not all ice creams，candies and cool toys．Some parents are offering their children prizes to just let them sit down and behave in a restaurant—or sleep in their own beds—or score a goal in the next soccer game．While the experts agree that occasional awards are okay, the danger lies in the system’s overuse．
Kids quickly gain a sense of entitlement(应得的权利)，where they come to expect a big reward for every good thing that they do，no matter how small．To keep things in check，experts say parents should reduce the number of rewards they offer，make sure rewards match the behavior and explain the real benefits of behaving for the sake of behaving． Have you used bribery or a reward system with your kids? Was it successful? Do your kids expect more because of that system?
