I work with kids in an out of school setting. We don't like to let the kids eat candy when they are with us. Cuz it causes issues of not having enough for everyone.
I convinced the kids that candy taste better at home then it does with us. I didn't even really have to say anything other than try it. I promise. To one kid. And it spread like wild fire. She fully believed me.
Each morning, if my 5-year-old is running late getting ready for school - I usually just yell "Fine, I will leave for school without you"... which makes him rush to not get left behind. Not sure how long it will last, until he realises that me going to his primary school without him, would be a little odd.
