A few tips for the Halloween madness:
- Provide some fat/ fiber/ protein before trick or treating- something like pizza, cheese sticks, whole fruits, nuts, seeds, beef sticks, sandwiches
- Hydrate, mostly with water
- Let them run around
- Don’t use language like bad or toxic around any food, especially candy or treats. Usually does more harm than good
- Do suggest to slow down, chew their food, and tune in to their bodies
- Hydrate some more
- Brush teeth and floss, especially for all those gummies
- We usually sort through the candy and keep our favorites, which truthfully is usually most haha. I don’t hide the candy. I usually let them choose 1-3 pieces every day until they forget about it.
- More than anything - I don’t make a big deal about it (ie the sugar) and in turn, they don’t make a big deal out of it.
Happy Halloween!
