I don’t agree with bribing or pampering (if you mean spoiling) kids - where’s the sincerity in that? I think that’s the wrong way to approach the situation because you’re almost creating an expectation that new mom proves her love by bribing us, if the bribes stop the love stops. And quite frankly, the kids use it as a way to manipulate adults - they will come out and say, “Prove your love by getting us x, y or z. And if you don’t get it for us, that means you don’t love us like you did before.”

There’s a saying that goes: Begin as you mean to go on.

People need to be consistent and manage expectations right from the get go, even with children.

OK , do not bribe but pamper , treat them with respect , do not get angry with their bad behavior but be patient and let them know that what they are doing is wrong and if repeated there will be certain consequences . Those consequences do not have to be beating or punishment but there are many civic solutions available to deal with kids with bad behavior.
