Just wondering how to handle demands for ice-cream on hot days.
I spend a lot of time outdoors and children see others having ice-creams and obviously want one too, but I can't give them ice-cream or ice-lollies all the time, can't I?
It's particularly hard when my own or I fancy one but we can't have it whilst with mindees due to healthy eating and all that. But that is ok.
I look after EY children and I remember being told off at a children's centre because I gave mini milks to 3 years old on a very hot day...(it was after a very healthy lunch too and I was outside the children's centre waiting for the kids to finish their mini milks).
Also it looks like mini milks are not popular anymore. Kids now want cornetto, magnum etc which will get expensive for me if I treat them all the time.
Should I just say no and deal with the tantrums, whys, and demands or do I talk to parents and ask for extra money if they don't mind their children having it when they ask?
