I went to the playschhol picnic, and ds and I sat next to a little girl who had a fruit shoot, a Lunchable and a packet of Haribo for her lunch. Out of Mumsnet research, I watched this girl's behavior for the afternoon. It was impeccable.
Meanwhile, my son, of the same age, stuffed a cheese sandwich on brown, (made with butter, not marg), a chopped up apple, some breadsticks, and a chocolate biscuit.
He then teararsed around, pushing, squealing, shouting, jumping queues, rolling about when he should have been sitting down, throwing a massive tantrum, and generally giving every parent present a reason to let their children subsist on crappy food.
What am I doing wrong here? I have made a determined decision - ds is getting no more chocolate, no squash, nothing made of oranges, no sweets ever (which he hasn't had anyway), no cake that isn't homemade - what have I missed? Is there anything else I can cut out of his diet without consulting a dietitian?
