This is going to sound really grumpy, but does anyone else think children are taken out on 'treats' far too much? Young parents seem to think they must keep their little ones continually entertained with visits to theme parks, cinemas, soft play areas and so on. Even if they stay at home, it's a constant round of 'let's make cakes' or 'now we'll get out the painting things' or 'let's play in the sand pit'. I think children should be encouraged to entertain themselves. My sister and I used to love doing our own thing and became quite resentful if we had to get changed and be taken somewhere. Treats were great but were few and far between so when we did get, say, a visit to a circus, it was a really exciting event. Is it because today's parents mostly both have to go to work, so the treating is really a guilt thing, do you think? No wonder the poor things are exhausted half the time (that's the parents, not the kids!).
