My children have absolutely no self control/ stop button when it comes to sweet stuff.
Last weekend it was treats being dished out on a walk with other families , chocolate, cheese strings babybels, nuts, cereal bars, etc etc you can guarantee that if one person got a snack out, my two were first in the line with their hands out, today it was a bun sale at school - they get plenty -3/4 cakes and a drink but still spent the whole time loitering around the cakes and begging for more. I don't see other kids behaving in this way and it is driving me mental!
We do allow treats at home but I try to ensure they don't have too many but as they get older, (6&9 currently)my supervision and influence becomes less and less. The elder who tends towards being overweight, regularly asks for money for sales at school and every time I am having to remind her that she mustn't spend it all on cakes and sweets.
Any help or advice please?
