[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s how I know OP’s reaction is based on pure emotion and anxiety, not reason.

If you have this big a problem with tiny containers of low fat, fairly low sugar ice cream being available, you should be ready to call 911 over the availability of pizza, hamburgers, chicken tenders, peanut butter and jelly, chicken and waffles, and French toast sticks, Cinnamon rolls, and chicken biscuits.Some of those higher calorie entrees might actually make a kid gain too much weight if eaten every day.

The ice cream is not the problem. [/quote]

Exactly.  If I was concerned about my kid eating too much ice cream one conversation reminding them about moderation would solve this problem.[/quote]

LOL- you think you solved the problem, they tell you yes and just sneak behind your back!  :lol: [/quote]

My kids don’t have to sneak ice cream or snacks because they aren’t forbidden.  Therefore, they understand moderation.  They also know I’m not going to track them down about a small portion of ice cream at lunch, particular if they are eating other well balance things with it.  See how that works.  Teach kids proper things from a young age, give them freedom to maneuver and make mistakes and great relationships.[/quote]

Exactly- I let my kids have a treat every night with dinner (their pick- ice cream, halloween candy, etc.) and then they don't sneak it at school.  I also let them pick out breakfast cereal- not surprisingly they prefer things like frosted flakes, fruit loops, etc. but sometimes they surpose my and pick regular old cheerios![/quote]
