..for kids, but this applies to big kids (adults) as well.
The curious incident of the cookie the afternoon our neighbor came selling them 🍪🍪🍪🍪
🍪 always support kids selling things‼️
🍪 allow your child to choose the box they want
🍪 we had just had snack time, so I set a boundary and said we would have them with dinner
🍪 serve WITH dinner, not AFTER as a REWARD to neutralize food
🍪 if serving as a snack, we round it out with some protein and plants (yogurt / cottage cheese / kefir + fruit)
🍪 YOU decide the amount. We agreed on 2 for child, 1 for daddy (I don’t do GSC. I’m a gourmet cookie snob sorry not sorry.)
🍪 requests for more will be honored “later” or “tomorrow” if / when whining occurs
Establishing boundaries but also having cookies is the 🔑
