Mama Knows Fan Favorite: Sweets & Treats for my kids, should I be limiting them? w/ Sammie of @anti.diet.mama
With Halloween quickly approaching we wanted to revisit thoughts on sweets and if we should be limiting their intake and how we can talk to our kids about sweets. Sammie and I talked about how we should approach the topic of sweets and treats when it comes to our kids on this fan favorite episode. We covered:
- How do we talk about sweets and treats to our kids?
- How do we limit sweets & treats without causing deprivation and or a complex around certain foods?
- How much access should the kids have to the pantry that also contains sweets & treats? How controlled should this space be?
- What do I do if my kid only wants to eat sweets and won't eat their meal?
