Is it okay to bribe kids with candy or dessert?
Using a bribe is really just another form of pressuring a child to eat. It adds to mealtime tension and wont help them to like spinach. In fact, according to Dr. Leann Birch, (a Penn State University professor doing research on childrens food acceptance), children learn to value the foods that are offered as a reward more than the food they are being bribed to eat.
