[quote=Anonymous]We treat two servings of fruit/day as the norm and then we try to make sure DD has only one other sweet thing a day (including juice, an extra serving of fruit or a sweet breakfast). If she's had an extra serving of sweet during a day, we don't do dessert unless it's a special treat (ice cream on a hot day, e.g.), we're out and it's offered (we always let her have a cookie/dessert at a friend's if it's offered) or it's a special occasion where the family is having dessert (< 1x/month). If she ate enough of her dinner (we serve a little extra of each thing so she can choose what to eat, expecting her to eat about 75% of what's offered; the rest goes into lunch for the next day) and asks for dessert on a night we wouldn't otherwise give it, we make seltzer w/ a bit of fruit or herbs or juice or something with the Sodastream as a treat... and she loves it.[/quote]
