[QUOTE="Malika, post: 420689, member: 11227"] Thanks Susiestar :-) And the protein bars are a great idea - I will stock up on these from the health food shop. Not sure I could fool him with the peanut butter (which he doesn't like) or that he would accept to have the purity of his beloved chocolate spread sullied in this way :-) An interesting conversation ensued later, which does shed interesting light, perhaps, on how we underestimate children... In talking about what had happened later, I explained that sugar was not good for him... he was keenly interested in this and asked why I let him eat it (very good question, sir: because your mother is too weak-willed and frightened to brave your tantrums if I refuse??). He then announced that he wasn't going to eat sugar any more and, good as his word, insisted on having a fromage frais without sugar at supper and pronounced it delicious... In the way of four year olds, this will probably all have been forgotten tomorrow, but it does make me wonder why I have not shared information like this with him before, thinking he is too young, or won't understand, etc. Not true, I think.
