Daniel's dad told him if he was good at school all week, he could eat as much of it as he liked on Friday. Daniel thinks about the candy every single day, and has a great week at school.

How could Daniel have handled the situation better?
Told his mom/dad instead of yelling at his sister, offering to share the candy, telling his sister that that's his candy and to find her own, etc.
