What do you recommend for balancing meals? We want to avoid putting dessert on a pedestal.

Question

My son is obsessed with chocolate. He asks for it at every meal. We try to balance it out by saying he can have it with his dinner. We've tried giving him dessert with his meal to try to counteract it, but my son would end up eating only the dessert. Now we try to say he has to have a dinner butcher for every dessert butcher, but I'm not sure that's the best approach.

Good morning, ma'am, Basically, if your child knows there will be dessert, that's all he or she will want. Have you tried meals without chocolate or dessert? I have not received any feedback from you. I invite you to contact a health professional directly for a personalized consultation. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
