[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, “forbidding” things often fails. When kids learn about the forbidden thing - food, drink, tv, video games, etc. - they develop an unhealthy obsession and rebel by going overboard with their consumption when exposed. [/quote] I'm the oldest, and wasn't even aware candy or ice cream or anything like that existed until I was maybe five, and then became an absolute sugar fiend. My middle brother, to whom it was available, could take it or leave it. "Aha!" Mom said, "It's the forbidden and mysterious nature that makes it so desirable." My youngest brother, also to whom it was available, was even worse than I was. If I were a sugar fiend, he was sugar Satan himself. [/quote]
