Bartering with Food

We do a lot of bartering with our five year old. If you eat this, you can eat that. It's usually, if you eat this fruit, you can have that toast. Or if you drink this green smoothie, you can have those crackers. I don't really like that we have this ongoing bartering with her, but that's just the way it is right now. If it was up to her, she would eat peanut butter toast, crackers, and yogurt all day long. And while those items are okay in small amounts (depending on the specific type of course), she also needs other items in her diet. So for now, we'll keep bartering. I'm still happy to hear the sounds of a straw emptying her cup of green smoothie. :)
