We've had the stage with both of our boys in early puberty (11-12 or so) where they didn't see the point of bathing as often as we thought desirable. They had stinky feet and sometimes stinky bodies. Every time I told the kid it was time for a shower or to wash his hair, there would be protests about how he just washed his hair yesterday, it was stupid to bathe every day, blabitty blabbity blab. I always pushed it because my nose was offended by body odor. I could tell them a hundred fifty times they stank with no effect on their psyches whatsoever. But all it took was one other teenager, one time, to say something along the lines of "Hey, dude, don't you know about deodorant?" and all of a sudden there was a line at the shower.
Sometimes peer pressure is a really good thing.

Your kids follow the rule.
It works in your family.
You never claimed it would work for every family.
If it didn't work in your family, you'd probably have come up with something else that did.
End of story.
wasn't it that she was distressed by your calling it the two-bite rule and enforcing the "two" part? i know you will correct me if i'm confusing you with someone else, but didn't you say that you
they had this rule at daycare.
