We all know that the lollies at the front counter are a parents worst night mare... so what do you do?
We currently have a no front counter food policy, we also have a healthy treat policy. When our little man wants a treat it's great to go into Woolworths at Arkabar, Westlakes, Mt Barker and a selection of others have fruit pig, you feed him 50 cents and your child can choose a piece of fruit to eat.
We give the little man 50cents and he walks back into Woolies after we have finished our shopping and gets a piece of fruit while we wait at the front (fruit pig is located at the front of the fruit section) so you can watch as your little one gains a tiny bit of independence (we started this when he was 4). If your local Woolies doesn't have a fruit pig write to head office, they will put one in. We got fruit pig back at Arkabar Woolies by writing them a note.
When we aren't at Woolies we give him a choice of fruit or something he can help us make... stops pester power in its tracks. We have had some interesting things come home.
