Hi there. I think you could also make more of it through a bigger exposure about \”Moods and sugar\”. Perhaps you can have some chocolate applesauce.

Hello webmaster. I think you could also make more of it through a bigger exposure about \”Moods and sugar\”. Perhaps you can have some chocolate endorphins love.

Thank very much Centria. Very good suggestions. I like the one about not becoming a dictator like the soup nazi on Seinfeld. (No sugar for you!) Once I tore a lollipop out of my 1 year old’s hands because his big brothers disobeyed me and gave it to him. I caused more trouble than it was worth by doing that because my husband sided with his older sons who gave the lollipop and we fought for a day.

When we the parents are not in a unified front on any topic, oh how quickly the children notice it and use that against us!

Oh dear. You are so right. It’s easy when your kids are grown. I guess my advice to parents of young ones would be to slowly introduce alternative treats (sweetened with maple syrup, honey, rice syrup, bananas, applesauce) into the diets. To slowly wean from the refined sugar treats, maybe allowing them every once in awhile. To make the low-sugar treats & put them on the table and not have refined sugar treats in the house. But also not to be a complete dictator. Allow for moments of refined sugar, perhaps.

What I have discovered recently is how awful white sugar tastes! Would have never thought that. It’s really so highly sweet that it tastes kinda disagreeable. Who would have thought?

Hope this helps, Jessica!
