When I was a little girl, my mother gave me cookies when I got hurt. The doctor gave me a sucker when I got a shot. These things helped link food with comfort for me. So with my dd, I tra to give her a hug and a kiss when she falls down instead of a cookie or an ice cream. But I still find myself thinking - she fell give her a cookie, but then I stop myself and give her a hug instead. What are some other ways you reward or comfort you child without using food?
