Having sweets for breakfast isn’t always the best choice you can make. But while most adults already know that, kids often have to learn it the hard way. This is exactly what happened to TV personality and talk show host Andy Cohen’s 4-year-old son, Ben.
Cohen recently shared a clip on Instagram in which he discusses Ben’s questionable choice of having seven Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for breakfast.
“Do you know why you might feel sick this morning?” Cohen asks his son in the video. “Because you woke up and ate seven Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups out of the freezer.”
Ben, who is in the back seat and feeling a stomach ache, acknowledges he had more than he should.
“I had a lot,” the boy responds.
Cohen proceeds to explain to his son that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups might not be the best breakfast choice, and Ben is quick to agree.
“Learning about repercussions. And what IS breakfast anyway???? An evolving conversation I’m having with Ben,” Cohen captioned the video.
Cohen’s video received almost 170K likes in less than 24 hours, with other Instagram users praising his approach to parenting in the comments section.
“I live for these videos. Parenting goals, you are awesome!” one user wrote.
“You’re such a good dad. I love the way you encourage him to reach his own conclusions instead of just scolding him. So darn cute!” another added.
