[QUOTE="Sprite, post: 445052, member: 12327"] InsaneCdn, it is so interesting that you posted this because I actually had the same idea yesterday! And it worked. :) We had guests over for dinner last night, and that is usually a disaster. But I gave my 5 year old son the responsibility of making dessert menus for everyone and then circling the dessert that each person wanted and then reporting the info back to me so that I could serve dessert. He was so proud! His "job" seemed to distract him from his usual obsession with tormenting his brother and making my life miserable in general. It actually served to bolster his self esteem. I will definetly be using this technique in the future. [/QUOTE]
