That is what they want for dinner. I do allow sweets. I like them too. I can’t say no, when they see me eating them. This is the true test of parents. If you want your kids to act or behave in a certain way, you have to model that behavior for them.
If you eat ice cream, cake, brownies, candy, and all those sweet confections, you can’t tell your kid not to. I am guilty of this. I think it is not wise to tell them they can’t have something. I think it may make them want it more.
If I show them that I am not eating those things then they will be less likely to want those things. If I don’t buy them, then they won’t have them. I won’t be tempted to eat them either. It is a dilemma. However sweet, it is still a dilemma. It can be fixed. I just have to say no to my cravings and show them how to do it.
