[blparent] daughters, dogs and dinner

[Star Gazer]

This only works if your kid cares about dessert. Also, my problem with
missing out on dessert is that it places a higher value on one group of food
then on another. I don't find that to be healthy. It basically says "dessert
is better, so I'm taking it away". With all types of food being so widely
obtainable, I don't like sending that message. I think it sets up an
unhealthy relationship with food.

This seems to be a stage with kids. All three of my daughters did this. We
just kept the dog away while it was eating time. It eventually stopped, that
and they missed out on dessert because they didn't eat their food.

Hi. Chris and I have a two year old daughter and a two year old dog, and the
daughter keeps giving the dog treats. We keep Falla on tie down while I'm
cooking dinner and we're eating. We used to keep her in her crate, but the
crate broke tonight when I was trying to get Kahlan out of it. She likes to
unzip it and get in there with Falla. We're going to solve that by getting
her a hard crate with an actual door instead of zippers.

But we had Falla on tie down and Kahlan throws her food on the floor. 
She threw it straight to Falla. She didn't lunge for it or try to take it
from her; Kahlan threw it to her. She's as far away as she can get and still
be in the same room. We want to keep her in the same room because she's very
food oriented and we want her to know that it's not OK to take the food and
we want Kahlan to know it's not OK to give it to her, or throw it on the
floor at all for that matter. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in
advance.
