[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 420673, member: 1233"] Good Job!!! It is NOT easy to get into the mindset and habit of using this type of parenting. Esp when every other resource tells you to do it the more traditional "I'm the parent and what I say goes now be quiet and go do your chores" way. You did a really great job. I learned to keep things like those protein bars on hand and to take them in my purse when we went anywhere. I also made sure that when we went to do a shopping trip the kids had protein with them or we got popcorn chicken from the deli. It cut down on the meltdowns and whining and getting upset from ALL of us. My kids still think the protein bars and the fiber bars are a "treat" like a candy bar. They cost more than some candy bars, but they are worth it. Mine tended to want chocolate syrup more than spread, but I found that if i combined it with peanut or almond butter they got the protein boost and the chocolate fix. Even if I just gave it to them on a spoon it helped. Learning a new way to parent is hard work. You earned a pat on the back today!! If he wants this often would it be helpful to mix the spread with peanut butter ahead of time and keep it in a separate container? Then he could have a spoonful when you said it was okay and you would feel better because he would have something better than just the chocolate spread. He might even enjoy helping to mix them (and licking the spoon!). If he is allergic to peanuts you can make almond or cashew or pecan butter in the blender or food processor. [/QUOTE]
