to tell my DS that he cannot have any more sweets offered by his friend........

[bigTillyMint]

After school today, in the park, DS's friend had a huge bag of mini-bars - DS had 2 or 3, then asked for money for an ice-pole (which I gave him, and he ate) That was fine.

Then he went back to the shop with his friend and another, and they bought £1 worth of sweets. I raced over and told him in no uncertatain terms that he had had enough sweets for the day........ He was actually OK about it, but friends and their parents looked at me as if I was mad. They are all 6 / 7.

What would you have done?

we have a mum in dd1's class who for a while was trying to hand out sweets to every child after every school day. we are not talking about a 10p mix but a full bar of choc/box of smarties.

i dont think she really realised why she should not be doing this and was upset when i (nicely) told her dd1 was not allowed to take sweets from her.

Yes, I think it's something similar here - the little friend (and parents?) seems to genuinely want to share, but is perhaps trying to curry favour (probably not consciously though). He always seems to have sweets
