This is an example of a permission schema, which is a social norm or expectation that certain actions or behaviors must be completed before a reward or desirable outcome can be obtained. In this case, the son must eat his meat before being allowed to have pudding. This schema is often used in parenting or educational contexts to incentivize desired behaviors. It is not an example of inductive reasoning, self-serving bias, or the illusory correlation.
