Logical guilt

So Kelsea went camping with her grandparents this past weekend. My husband's parents. We are working hard on fostering independence in her- IE staying in her own bed so I can stop being awakened every few hours by random kicks and punches. Cory told his parents this new "rule."
Kelsea woke at her normal morning hour of ohcomeonisitreally6already and asked to get in the bed with her Grandma. She told her no- she had to stay in her own bed because Mom and Dad said she had to(way to use POSITIVE reinforcement). Next, Kelsea asked for her normal morning cup of coffee aka her fiber bar. Grandma told her no -it was too early (she usually gets one herself).
So then Kelsea said to her 'Gramma, how would YOU feel if you were 3 years old and you asked someone for a fiber bar and THEY would not give it to you?"
You can bet Gramma got her that fiber bar after all.
