I have always heard and read that bribes and incentives to perform are bad for kids. They should do what they do just because they want to. I may have even seen this discussed on here. I was sitting at the Dr's office and I read an article about a study that was done regarding bribing children to perform. I can remember who did the study or even what magazine it was in, but the results were very surprising to me. Basically they bribed kids with money to make good grades. Not only did it work in the short term, it continued to work after they stopped giving the bribes.
Interesting huh?
I will say honestly that I have given my kid incentive to do things. If she finished all her work she can have a treat, etc. I have even used it at gym for behavior. If I see that you are staying on task and working hard you can get a treat after practice etc. I find it works well for her and I don't have to do it very often. I will do it after a rough practice or when I know she's tired and she needs a little incentive to get through practice.
