[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Wear the mask and when we get home, you can have a lollipop." Never had an issue. [/quote] My two year old would not understand this. His entire frame of reference is at best, a few minutes into the future. Promising him something that is more than 1-2 minutes in the future has zero meaning for him. Even trying to bribe him to do something he doesn’t want to do (like stop playing and come eat) where he gets an immediate reward (vitamin gummy) only works some of the time. I think people extrapolate what works on a 3-6 year old onto a 2 year old, forgetting that their language comprehension and even understand of cause and effect is much more limited than even a just turned 3 year old.
