[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a great rule. We all eat too much candy (myself included). I have a DS in preschool and they allow juice if it's 100% juice. I don't pack juice in DS lunch and he constantly complains that one of his classmates always has juice in his lunch and it's not fair. I just keep telling him that he can't always have what others have and I'm sure there are some things he has that friend doesn't have. [/quote]

I believe you, but it's just so interesting because my DS (4) is at a co-op preschool so I am in the classroom a lot.  The kids chat and show each other their snacks but no one says it's not fair or anything like that. There is a "healthy snack only" rule, but some kids (mostly the ones who are younger siblings so their parents have loosened up) have juice boxes and cookies.  I feel like even at this age the kids understand that "you get what you get and you don't get upset."  And if you don't like it, take it up with mom.  Surprised elementary school kids would have trouble understanding this.  [/quote]
