Teaching myself to raise my child

An attempt to indulge in chocolates April 21, 2010

My daughter has been having massive chocolate cravings lately. This is how one of our recent conversations went:

She: Amma, I’m worried about my health..

Me: Why buddy?

She: I like chocolates so much that I’m worried I’ll eat too many of them and spoil my health..

Me: Oh, I understand. But you don’t have to worry. I’ll help you to not eat so many chocolates so that you can stay healthy :)

She: But I’m still worried because I like chocolates so much…

Me: Why do you worry when I’m here to take care of you…

She: Ok. I won’t worry. Amma, I feel like eating chocolates. Can I have some?

Me: You had chocolates just yesterday, buddy. I don’t think you should have anymore for another week.

She: But amma, I told you I like chocolates a lot.

Me: But I thought that you were also worried about eating too many chocolates and spoiling your health.

She: I’m not worried anymore. Can I have some?

Me: But I’m worried. And I just told you that I’m here to take care of your health in case you need help..

She: (starts laughing at her own blunder…) Amma, please just a little bit..

Me: (also laughing). No buddy, too many chocolates is not good for your health….

(Thinking to myself – I guess I won the battle this time. But who knows what she’ll come up with next…need to watch out…)
