[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put the advent calendar out of sight when not in use. Out of sight, out of mind. Can you find a compromise and redirect - "Larla, you can't open the next Advent flap until tomorrow morning, but I know you really love the goodie inside. Do you want to split XYZ/(treat) while I read you Sofia the First Holiday in Enchancia book with me?" - or something to that effect. On a side note - is junk food taboo in your house? Is that why she is gorging herself at the opportunity?[/quote] I will allow an oatmeal cookie for breakfast. But I won’t allow her to eat a few sugar cubes. So she will always think we are being authoritative. I cannot win. She also eats the icing off of a cupcake and then asks for another. But if given a plate with eggs, fruit, and pancake, she will only eat the pancake and ask for more. If given fruit and a veggie she will only eat the fruit...[/quote]
