In our house if you don't eat your vegetables, you don't get a snack. McKenzie response to this rule blows my mind. She will clear her spot and tell me mom I don't want a snack, by saying this she has thought it over and has decided a snack is not worth the punishment of eating vegetables.
Once we popped popcorn and watched a movie as a family. Through the whole movie Kenzie kept refilling everyone's popcorn bowl, never even trying to sneak a bite. She never threw one tantrum demanding popcorn even though she hadn't eaten vegetables. By the end of the movie she would take the popcorn and roll it along her lips, but never put it in her mouth. The movie was 1 1/2 hours and she overcame that temptation.
Another night our snack was oreo's she sat at the table with us and was in charge of handing out the oreo's, she never tried to even sneak a bite. She just sat happily watching us all eat our snack. This girl has got self control.
