Repeat after me, "food is not a reward."
Don't reward your kid's good behavior with food, you're not training a dog.
I would definitely argue that you shouldn't train dogs with food either, at least not in quantities that it's viewed as "food." Tiny bits that have flavor give a little reward which is great for establishing behavior, but rewarding with praise after a while makes for much more engaged and less food-obsessed pets.
Well said. Have an upvote.
