Sugar is Spooky !! To all parents with kids who are going trick or treating.

[Guest guest]

To all parents with kids who are going trick or treating.

 

I know parents who plan a time to go shopping with their kids either right

after trick or treating (if it's not too late) or the next day first thing

or right after school. They get the kids agreement ahead of time that they

will buy the candy from them and then they can spend the money on whatever

they want on the shopping spree. Read the idea below that could work well

with smaller children. This one can work for older kids who might not

believe in the " Ghost of Halloween " .

 

There are probably a number of ways to get agreement on not eating all that

sugar.

I know a private school that is closed the day after halloween. They tried

getting the parents to control the sugar and when they were unsuccessful

they just decided to let the kids be wild and crazy at home. I guess their

viewpoint was if the parents allowed it the parents could deal with the

consequences.

 

Be creative. It's well worth it.

Re: Herbal Remedies - Sugar is Spooky !!

 

 

Sugar isn't spooky it's scary! No wonder they give it out at H-Day.

We don't give it to our children and we see big differences and others

are constantly saying how even tempered, etc. they are... now I think

that also has to do with up-bringing, but that doesn't account for all

of it.

We also don't want to turn into something like the latest

Willy Wonka Dad that was a dentist and kept all candy, and thus the

fun, from his kid. They should be allowed to socialize with others

their age and enjoy the holidays. We came up with something that we

think balances it out. It is kind of like Santa and the tooth fairy

combined. Our daughters can collect the candy, go to the parties and

all that. The difference is they don't eat the candy when they get

it. Instead they gather it all up and the ghost of Holloween (don't

tell our kids, but this is me:) comes and exchanges it for books,

toys, and a lot of healthy goodies that they love. Sounds a little

different, but we like it and it gives them the fun and socialization

without the bad health effects. I have to admit that it was my wife's

idea, but we both love it:)
