2 YOUR TODDLER SAYS HE FEELS LIKE A MCDONALD’S BURGER. YOU…

A Decide to get one – just for tonight. It’s the weekend, and you haven’t had takeout in a while.

B Refuse. Your child won’t ever be allowed to have junk food.

C Say you feel like Kentucky instead. This is the fourth McDonald’s night in a row, after all.

A Firmly refuse and give him some of the raisins you packed.

B Give him a hiding.

7 THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON YOUR PRE-SCHOOLER’S EXTRAMURAL SCHEDULE IS…
