My "issue" with the cookie thing is that it is a reward. We wanted to work on extinguishing (behavior mod speak) the behavior, not encouraging more of it. Which I know you do too!!
Also, we felt by giving them what they want or "giving in," we weren't helping them deal with their issues, frustrations, etc. As in, they need to work through it in their way. And believe me, they do.
I hope I don't sound preachy - I sure don't mean to. Just trying to share what we do and why.
And ignore, ignore, ignore others in public who may give you the stink eye.
