[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't withhold food from my kids and they would not even say that anything is off limits, but it is truly unnecessary to condition your child to eating a sweet after every meal, especially when that meal contains sweets already (fruit roll ups, flavored yogurt, and the like are sweets, not food). They eat sweets sometimes and like them, but would think it was really weird if I started putting cookies in their lunch. Do adults eat cookies with lunch everyday? I am really out of touch. [/quote] I put cookies in my kids lunches whenever they ask for them. Sometimes they eat them, sometimes they don't, just like every other item in their lunchbox. Since the cookies are not forbidden fruit or something that mom flips out over, they have learned to moderate themselves and their food choices. It is a better way to live than to flip out over a single oreo or some fruit chews.[/quote] I don't flip out. I just don't pack desserts. I did not even know that eating dessert at lunch was a thing a lot of people did. [/quote]
