: Kelly, your answer for everything is "give them sweets" !?!? Do you notice all the reports in the media that are telling parents to be more aware of family eating habits so as to halt the obesity epidemic? Kids aren't dogs- they don't need to be tossed a bone everytime they sit! Good grief, try a little positive reinforcement, a hug, or a story as a reward for a change.

Ok whoever you are!!
I never adviced anyone to give their child sweets! I said that i gave my child sweets, Both my children are not fat or obese or suffer from tooth decay. I do the postive reinforcement with plenty of praies and hugs, And yes i do give them them sweets as a reward too, Which is about twice a week! If that makes me a bad person or a bad mother in your option then im sorry, I never came on this board predending i was a perfect mother. I must stress that both my children are very much loved, They aint treated as "Dogs" Im doing my best in bringing them up the best i can.

PS, I apolgise to anyone who thought i said "give your child sweets" Sliced fruit like apples bananas etc is a good way of treating them and not for getting all them postive reinforcements
