TIPS TO STOP SUGAR OVERLOAD
Here are some ways that parents can get a handle on Halloween so children feel neither deprived, nor sick to their stomachs:
1 Decide with children, before Halloween, what is a reasonable amount of candy to eat that night and beyond.
2 Will the candy be rationed to a piece or two a day, donated or thrown away?
3 Feed children dinner before trick or treating.
4 Ask kids to wait until they get home to eat candy, so parents can inspect wrappers.
5 Go out early, when candy-givers are less likely to encourage children to grab a handful of candy.
6 Do not ban candy or ditch it when the kids aren't looking; it may make them want it more.
7 Let children enjoy some sweets on holidays, and focus on good nutrition the rest of the year.
8 Offer candy alternatives to give trick or treaters a choice.
9 Take the emphasis off candy by focusing on the fun of the holiday, such as costumes and games.
