 This time of year your children may be bringing home lots of treats from different teachers, friends, classrooms. How to deal with it all? Tip 1: Be firm and let them know they can choose 1 per day Tip 2: If you get resistance let them know that it is not healthy to eat too much sugar. If you stick to your ground, they will eventually understand. On certain holidays, like Halloween, Christmas Hanukah, Easter it is ok for children to splurge a bit more. But for now, teach them how to pick 1 special treat, let them know that they can have the other one they want tomorrow. |
