Is this good parenting?
Recently my children and I visited a lolly store and my youngest wanted a WizFiz, which is full of sugar! I was allowing gummy bears, snakes and chockie bars. My son then proceeded to roll around on the floor until he got his way, I purchased the WizFiz, but I ate it, because I dont want to risk his health. Is this good parenting? I know he will have another meltdown when he finds out but at least it will be at home!

My mom had a really good way to deal with tantrums. She had 5 kids, learned a thing or two. Whenever a kid would act up, publicly or privately, she'd say, "You must be sick! Only sick children would behave like that" and she'd immediately end the adventure, go home, put the obnoxious one to bed with nothing but canned tomato soup and crackers for two days and not allow them to leave their bed unless they were taking a quick trip to the bathroom. The other kids weren't allowed in the room to keep them company and often that meant that the innocent sibling(s) slept on the couch. In our rooms there were no tvs, no radios, no phones, no computers.... just books and a bed and a cup of tomato soup with crackers twice a day for two days. Cause only sick children act up like that. So, basically, the entire family hated you for two days and no one supported tantrums for any reason.
