Some teachers, I have found, feel so put upon when asked to rein in the treats, as though they're being asked to not have any fun anymore. This will take years to change, but Candice, good for you! Maybe you can print out that flyer and send it in to the school director: and definitely give one to J's teacher! Now about that closet ... blame your mother! ;-) I once asked all the parents in my son’s preschool class if they minded if I requested that candy no longer be included in the treasure box at school — no one minded, I told the teacher that this is what the parents wanted, and then I found out at the end of the school year that it was just MY son that was not allowed to get candy from treasure!

Too often when I go to pick him up he is munching on some sweet treat... the other day his teacher handed him a Kit Kat as we walked out the door because he had been a "good boy today." Um, what does a flippin' Kit Kat have to do with good behavior!? Anyway, I eventually asked his teachers to not give him treats at school and now I'm the mean mom. Oh well, I can live with that. Now please excuse me while I go remove the giant bag of chocolate I have hidden in my closet. My little guy just turned 2 and I am already dealing with this dilema.
