When I was told "I want to eat sweets" before dinner

Thank you for reading 🕊️

I want to eat sweets!

Do you hear this line before dinner every day? 🍪

I just want to say "no!,"

Actually, "sweets" are not a reward for children,

The possibility of SOS saying "I want to do something about this hunger now"

🧠 point is, rather than no, how do we communicate?

① Accept emotions and convey clear reasons

② Tell the outlook

③ Try to understand what it feels like and stay close to that feeling

④ Sympathize with "I'm hungry" and propose choices for that

⑤ Establish a perspective by telling a clear time and food

Just change the "way of speaking,"

The mother's feelings and the child's reactions change 🕊️

If there is even one "awareness" or "relief"

Please save it and read it again later 🌱

The likes and comments are very encouraging 🤍

... Read more「子どもがお菓子を食べ過ぎてるかも…」と感じる時、私は“回数や量”だけじゃなくて、「夕飯前に欲しがる流れ」を整えるのが一番効きました。夕飯前の「お菓子食べたい」は、わが家ではだいたい“空腹”か“切り替えの難しさ(遊びをやめたくない)”のどちらか。ここを押さえると、叱らずに減らせることが多いです。 まずやってよかったのは、ルールを「禁止」じゃなく「時間と順番」で固定すること。例えば「おやつはご飯の後(または15時)」「夕飯前はお菓子じゃなくて小さな補食OK」と決めます。ポイントは“毎回同じ”にすること。日によってOK/NGが変わると、子どもは交渉モードに入りやすく、結果的に食べ過ぎにつながりやすいと感じました。 次に、夕飯まで時間がある日は“代替案”を用意しておくとラクです。私は「お腹すいたよね。わかるよ。ご飯はあと30分で食べられるよ」と見通しを伝えた上で、①小さなおにぎり、②チーズ、③ヨーグルト、④バナナ、⑤温かいスープ、みたいに“夕飯の邪魔をしにくいもの”を提案しました。お菓子をゼロにするより、「今はこれ」「お菓子はご飯の後にしようね」と置き換える方が、子どもも納得しやすかったです。 それでも荒れそうな日は、「手伝ってくれたら早く食べれるよ!一緒にやる?」が本当に効きます。空腹でイライラしている時ほど、待つのがつらいので、盛り付けや箸並べなど“すぐ終わるお手伝い”で気持ちが切り替わりやすいです。 最後に、お菓子の食べ過ぎ対策で意外と大事なのが“見える量”。大袋をそのまま渡すより、小皿に出して「今日はこれだけね」と区切ると、食べるペースも落ち着きました。もし「もっと!」となっても、「もっと食べたいんだね。ご飯食べれなくなっちゃうから、今は我慢しようね。ご飯の後にしよう」と同じフレーズで淡々と。 叱る回数を増やすより、「理由+見通し+選択肢」をセットにしていくと、結果的に“夕飯前のお菓子欲”も“食べ過ぎ”も減っていきました。
