Here's Why You Should Let Your Kids Eat Candy For Breakfast
If you want to rewrite the script around sugar in your family and for the next generation of children you are raising, this may require some countercultural approaches.
Because diet culture has demonized sweets, it may feel counterintuitive to make them more accessible to your children.
In today's episode, I want to give you some encouragement to help you confidently support your kiddos in building a positive relationship with sweets, as well as discuss some unconventional strategies that can give them the opportunities they need to learn how to self-regulate sugar.
No matter what your relationship has looked like with sweets, you can help your kids form health habits around these foods, as well as trust and confidence in their bodies.
