Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. My daughter has been trying to get her kids to make healthier food choices, and it's hard as a grandmother to say no to those sweet little faces even when you know what's best for them.
A few weeks ago, when she called saying they were coming over for a visit I decided to fix a little tray of healthier foods and have it on the little table where they play. I didn't say a word about it, and they spotted it right off the bat. "Mimi, who is this for?" they asked. I told them is was for them, and that I thought they might want a snack.
It worked like a charm. They sat right down to that table and began munching. Not one asked for a cookie, or any other sweet treat, and before the visit was over the entire lot of it was finished.
Now, I'm wondering if I can pull this trick on myself?
Or you can try to pull this trick on me!!! haha!!! I know I'm much more likely to go grab a cookie instead of go and cut celery, even though I'd rather have celery with peanut butter!!!
