[QUOTE="Andy, post: 184446, member: 5096"] Adding to already good input: Tie a bell to your refridgerator door. Have set snack times (10:00 am morning and 2:00 and 4:00 afternoon?). Call her in for a snack. She can join neighborhood kids in a few minutes. Regarding VBS: I love your "they don't seem to be covering the basics .....". :happy: It impresses me when a parent is in tuned to what is being taught at VBS or Sunday School. As a VBS leader, it is good to know that parents are aware. As a Sunday School teacher, I try every chance I get to promote the "Honor your mother and father" commandment. I find VBS is much more relaxed that Sunday School. VBS in our denomination and many churches is looked at as an evangilizing time to not only provide more education to the kids that do go to church but to reach out to kids who do not. Many kids only go to VBS so the themes are more centered on the Gospel (God Loves You) rather then the Law (thou shalt not.....). It sounds like your daughter is trying to keep her eating habits from you. It may be time (if you think she is ready) to have a talk to her about healthy eating and get her involved in the shopping and meal/snack planning. Try to get her eating habits out in the open. Use the more favorite snacks as a reward for the end of the week if she has done well all week. Have a spice tasting day. Take a spoon and sprinkle a spice on it for her to lick of. Encourage her to dip her food into a spice rather than sprinkling the spice on the food. I hope you find something that will work. Is the stealing always around food? If so, food is probably the issue, and I wouldn't worry so much about stealing as a bigger problem. [/QUOTE]
