[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No strict policy. Just sort of keep track of it. If they have had some earlier in the day, probably wont offer it after dinner unless it is a special occasion. If they don't eat a good portion of their meal, they don't get dessert. We just try to teach our kids that treats are ok, in moderation, but that our bodies really need the healthy foods to grow and work properly. All about balance and trying to make sure they have a healthy understanding of nutrition.[/quote] Exactly this. I grew up in a household with plenty of access to junk food and grew into a healthy eater. I have vivid memories of the family friends who weren't allowed more than the occasional carob chip cookie. They were like a flock of vultures when in the vicinity of junk food, so I don't believe in restricting much.[/quote]
