It's Not Bribery....Positive Reinforcement

Friday is our errand day. Most Fridays we get to break it up with some playtime at the park with friends. Today was not the case. We didn't have many errands, but we did have to spend quite some time in the van, and the weather was not great so we could not go to the park. Our errands went great but we still had Walmart to tackle and the little ones were getting tired. I told the children if they could make it through Walmart without fighting, touching anything, or asking for anything, they would get a chocolate bar after we got back to the van. I also told them they wouldn't want to be the only one who did not get to have one. All went well and everyone earned a chocolate bar (even me.)
