Yes, reward is a much better word in this case!

If you say it like: "If you clean your room, I will buy you ice-cream" That's bribing. But if you tell your son, "Go clean your room" and he eventually cleans it up all of his own and then you decide to take him out for ice-cream than it's a reward. Rewards are much better!
