Re: dinner or pudding
This is one of my real bug bears! I always state to parents that i am all for healthy eating and do everything in moderation so yes we do have chips and chocolate but not all the time. In the same conversation i always point out that i will not just let children have puddings if they are not eating their main meal. My Mantra is if they haven't got room for the first course then there can't be any room for pudding.
On the other hand if meal is eaten, pudding is eaten and child still hungry - thats fine i will keep providing food until they are satisfied.
The only exception is if we are trying new foods and the child truly doesn't really care for it.
I'm not paranoid - the world IS out to get me!
