That might be the last piece of cake, or my favorite chocolates that I don’t share or whatever comes up. We also place a great deal of emphasis on saving certain things until a certain age. For example, gum is saved until age 3. The first birthday party that includes those outside the family is at 5. Believe me, the kids know all the privileges that go with each age and stage. We hope to instill in them the concept that some things are worth waiting for.
