According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children should limit added sugars to no more than 25 grams (about 6 teaspoons) per day, and kids under 2 should avoid added sugars altogether. 🍠That means just a few pieces of candy can quickly add up!

• Offer candy with meals instead of as constant snacks
• Keep portions small and occasional
• Balance treats with fruits, veggies, and protein
