With having 6 children I have rules and they must ask before they eat ANYTHING - especially fruit. My kids would eat it all day with no troubles but it costs us a small car each time I buy it. Having 2 diabetics means that they can't eat it when ever they want it anyway and by getting them to ask first, to me anyway, means they are learning manners.

I try to have things like carrots, celery, cheese, strawberries available to them as they are free foods. But they must ask first.
