It's a REWARD! A bribe is something you give them BEFORE said task, action, behavior. A reward is something they get for having done said task, action, behavior as requested/demanded/ordered. At least that's what I call it at my house when I want one of my triplets to do/be something. A Reward. And it works, too. ;) It’s not a bribe if you give it to them AFTER they perform required task, action, behavior. It’s a REWARD! A bribe is something you give them BEFORE said task, action, behavior.
