06/07/23 • 42 min

You know what works better than asking nicely? Bribery. But when is it right to parent with positive reinforcement, and when is it okay to just pay the kid? Tori and Gwenna are talking all about the value of using incentives to teach your children to try new things and establish good habits. They also tell us whether or not their children get an allowance, and why Robux are just crypto for children. Plus, they talk about how to respond when something “isn’t fair” and fill us in on what it means to have a reasonable expectation of contribution (REC for short). Finally, they play a game of Double Standards all about the things they allow for themselves... but not for their kids.
