Now this is how you motivate your kids in the 21st century. The good old fashioned carrot on a stick.
Redditor Actionjack7's son had to learn 8 to 10 keepie uppies for his football coach and was taking the lazy approach to accomplishing it, so he was given a little incentive. Dad promised that when he can get to 40, he'll buy the nine-year-old a new Xbox game. Result? He learns to do 40+ in less than 24 hours, showing off his learning to camera the next day.
Now that's parenting. Reminds us of this gem.
