is it bribery or reward?

At the beginning of summer,
Carly and I set a goal for her to practice guitar
twice a week during the weeks she would be home
(she was gone a lot) over the summer.
We counted up how many times that would be
and put beads in a bowl for her to earn through the summer.
Carly picked painting a piece of pottery at Mud Monkey as her reward.
During the last week of summer, she earned the last beads.
She reminded me then and numerous times since
that I said I would take her to Mud Monkey.
So we finally went on Saturday. She loves it.
She chose a plate to paint and I tried to visit with her without offering my input
(well at least not too much input!)
So until the next time I need to bribe her....I mean reward her.

Fun! We went to the Posh Paint Pub in Metairie Saturday and the kids each painted a plate and together did a bowl. I think activities like this are great rewards!
