Sorry mi nuh agree wid de Lipschitz remedy.
She knew she would get the popsicle <span style="font-weight: bold">after</span> she was done eating - clearly she did not want to wait and was testing her Mom to see if she could have her way by throwing a tantrum.

The first time she does this and sees that there are repercussions she will rethink her strategy nex time.

So mi seet.

Fuss time Dan came home from daycare an fling harself dung pon de grung - I waxed her good an propa an mek har know that in MY house that behaviour is unacceptable. mi si she mek fe dweet a second time - an is like de memory lik har and she sekkle wid a half hearted bawl instead.

mi nah mek no pickney embarrass mi outta road.

Anyway - maybe mi too ole school - nowadays parents are big into de long argument wid de pickney dem.

De bible seh &quot;foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child but the rod of correction shall drive it out&quot;

Your kids are really cute...

Probably you know that Im for never spanking, yelling, shaming, blaming...so, In the story you tell above I would have handled it differently. I never cared if my kids didn't finish their dinners. And there was never a reward for eating. I never said, &quot;You can't have dessert unless you finish...&quot; So the option of having or not having a popsicle never came up. If my child wasn't eating, or if time had passed and it was pretty clear she was finished I'd say something like, &quot;Are you finished?&quot; They aren't going to starve... know what I mean? You make the meals, and if they aren't hungry, then cool. Why not just respect that she is done?

I know I'm late, but daddy shouldn't give her any popsicle when you're not looking...seeing as how you're &quot;too strict&quot; and all.
