Wh...Mariana has always liked healthy food, mostly. What I do with her besides talk to her about nutrition is also just pack a two baked chips or sun chips. I also pack carrots and raisins, grapes, etc. The point is don't let the chips have complete control. Give him two. They'll make 'em less desirable. <br />Mariana also has been bringing home what she does not eat. I tell her its so I can tell what she has time to eat and what she likes. I also tell her that if she doesn't it the good stuff, the chips won't be in there tomorrow. I don't give them reward status. I frame it as well, if you are running out of time at lunch I want to make sure you have enough to eat the healthy stuff first. for now, she buys it.<br /><br />We have our challenges in other areas. She's a talker with poor impulse control. She's gotten in trouble for playing with the teacher's phone. She's also poked a boy in the face with a pencil. She does this BECAUSE I told her we keep pencils away from the face...curiosity killed the cat and gets Mariana in trouble everytime.Wendy G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877702996677988214.post-38106474734026404902009-08-27T06:52:47.419-04:002009-08-27T06:52:47.419-04:00Roni- your time is just around the corner my dear!...Roni- your time is just around the corner my dear!<br /><br />Mr. DannyB- He actually loves Spinach, both kids do and ask for it constantly- with dip of course ;) The agreed upon list was one post back. He also got yogurt pretzels, which were a big hit and trail mix- both were gone. I do like the sneaky little chip bag switcheroo idea.

I don't know his tastes and I don't know what was agreed upon but I can't EVER thinking that a school lunch with Spinach was cool. How about just opening the junky chip back and packing it with spinach instead?DannyBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877702996677988214.post-25398972220868456282009-08-26T22:32:54.614-04:002009-08-26T22:32:54.614-04:00lol This is my worst fear... and boy I know it'...lol This is my worst fear... and boy I know it's commin'!Ronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163366730497010244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877702996677988214.post-41754683949475122172009-08-26T19:48:44.132-04:002009-08-26T19:48:44.132-04:00Jim- classic!

I remember we ate a lot more junk in those days.<br /><br />Today I would do chocolate covered raisins or almonds. Or a trail mix that has m&m's in it. <br /><br />But mean Mom comes up time and time again. My grown sons are now 38, 36 and I am the best Mom and grammie so something to look forward to from the other side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877702996677988214.post-73930989210907236532009-08-26T15:11:44.959-04:002009-08-26T15:11:44.959-04:00Welcome to the Mean Mom Club.
