标题:I Paid My Child $100 to Read a Book
正文:This summer, I paid my 12-year-old daughter $100 to read a book. As far as mom maneuvers go, it was definitely last-ditch, and the size of the payout was certainly excessive. I can’t say I am proud — but I am extremely satisfied. Because the plan worked. My daughter is a whip-smart kid, definitely smarter than I was at 12. But until I resorted to bribery, she’d never read an entire chapter book for pleasure. She’d read books for school, but getting her to do that was like pulling teeth, and on her own she’d read a few graphic novels and listened to the audiobooks of the “Harry Potter” series.
