Bribery is not recommended, but definitely understandable.

The majority of parents do try to bribe or unfortunately, threaten their children, when the child does not perform at expected levels.

Keep in mind, at the end of the day, that kids are kids and need to enjoy the game at their level. The children will definitely grow into the sport and excel at their own level.

Hubby and I aren't much for soccer either. Or basketball. Looks like our girlie might be tall and people say "Maybe she'll play basketball." My response: "Or golf." I'd rather see her play golf than either of the above! Heather @ Not a DIY Lifes last blog post..My Debut As...

That's hillarious. My parents were deeply disappointed when I wanted to take ballet instead of play basketball, and was on the dance squad instead of a 'real' sport. I don't think any amount of candy would have persuaded me. I'm so with Lily on this one. Once she sees past the bribery, send her over and I'll start teaching her my old Pom Pon routines.

The only bribery your father would have done would be to bribe you NOT to go out for soccer!!

We did the same thing for soccer, only it was going out for ice cream. And it still took 3 games to get him to participate. But now he asks every day when he can play soccer again, even though we told him we aren’t going out for ice cream after every game, probably not again until the last game.

Don’t feel bad – we bribed our four year old son to get him to actually go in the pool at swimming lessons and play the games with his teacher. It works! And he discovered he actually likes swimming, so I’d say its definitely worth the $1 for chocolate. ‘Course, I buy me some, too!
