[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My preschooler never says thank you.  She has a nut allergy and is always trying to figure out if what she has been handed will be safe for her.  We are working on "thank you" but I don't push it now because the first thing is teaching her how to be safe around food.

Just sharing this because we all have unique circumstances.  I hope people don't think we are rude but it is less important to me than teaching my kid food safety.[/quote]

Never ever, or just during T&T?[/quote]

Just during Trick or Treating.  It is very chaotic and crowded and just a lot for her to remember TY after looking at the candy and then getting pushed aside by crowds of kids.  I don't think it's helpful to nag her about "TY" when she is doing the right thing by checking her food.  It is a lot for a 4 year old in that context.[/quote]

Teach her the fun of collecting and being polite in the moment. Look at the candy at home and make decisions on what she can have then. If she cant have it does she hand it back? I cant understand the point of teaching "safety" in this moment if shes not eating it immediately.[/quote]
