[quote=Anonymous]I view this issue as basic human psychology with children or adults. As soon as you label something a finite, rationed, bargained for resource, we humans will want it more. Stop making food consumption so much of a focus. Stop taking away electronics and fun stuff because they took some crackers. Stop calling their eating "stealing". Stop making eating anything such a big deal. Would you like to have someone following you all day telling you that you just "stole" a cookie? I bet not. So don't do it to your kids. You are teaching them that food is hard to get, so of course they're focused on getting it however they can. [/quote]
