[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 255393, member: 1514"] How bout a weeks snacks put in baggies...in the fridge that she helps pick out. Her special snacks. Can be a mix of good and not so good. Hey...help her mix up a big bunch of trail mix by hand. Or that monkey munch. Or even hand dipped apples, bananas and pretzels. We did a snack with milky way bars and rice crispies that was really good. Just divide all her snacks up into baggies and let her decide on the two or three she is having that day. The rest go in the freezer for another day. Then tell her Mommy is going to pick from mommy's stash of snacks the same way...you will pick out 2 or 3 snacks too. Older sis can do it too. Everyone gets to pick their own snacks. Now the phone thing...you may have to get more creative. If you cant escape into the bathroom with a cellphone or a long cord or cordless....try implementing the RULE. No one interrupts mommy while on the phone unless there is blood gushing or broken bones or fire. Any violation of this rule means automatic loss of screen time or early bed time or loss of tokens if you have a token economy going on. If they do leave you alone, then reward them with something good like extra good stuff...more screen time, more time outside, a movie, , something. [/QUOTE]
