[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 25544, member: 1024"] Dreamer, no I don't do that after a rage....just when she's doing stuff that she's not supposed to and I think she needs to sit and have calm time. Janet, she gets candy. She gets chocolate just about every day. That's dessert before she goes to bed. She has to have it; it's like the unwritten rule, unless she's been unusually rotten that day. I keep regular stashes of treats around for her. Kozy Shack puddings have no corn syrup or food coloring, for example. She has never been deprived of goodies. I figure, if she has a regular stash of goodies, she won't feel deprived. I rarely give the bad stuff to Mighty Mouse, 'cause he gets hyper on it too, just not to the elevated difficult child status that she becomes. When he does get it, she's usually not around to feel deprived. My pastor's wife found all-natural food coloring, so I even make colored icing with whipped cream occasionally for her. I even made her an ice cream cake last year, since the ice cream stores usually use icing with corn syrup in it and she really wanted ice cream cake. I had 70 or so people over and they all were shocked that I actually made the cake. I make a 45 minute trip to a grocery store that is all natural about once every two months or so. I stock up on all natural snacks for her. So this kid has no reason to feel deprived. Usually, she's pretty good about not sneaking stuff, but lately, she's been doing sneaky stuff. I do get the truth out of her. She lied about something the other day, but I questioned her again, because it was something that was really bugging me and I told her that if she told the truth, she wouldn't get into trouble but it was really important that she tell me the truth. She did and it turned out to be a relief. I was really worried about something. [/QUOTE]
