Even though Halloween in the time of Coronavirus is looking like it will be a little different, one thing that will be the same is the increased access to candy and sweet treats our kids have this time of year. If you've ever wondered how to take a balanced, healthy, and evidence- based approach to halloween candy (and treats year round!) then this episode is for you!So, how can our kids have a healthy and safe (but fun!) Halloween?While I know how important it is to you that your kids have a healthy diet for their growing minds and bodies, we also want them to have a healthy RELATIONSHIP with food too, right? That's why it is important to have a balanced approach towards candies and sweet treats. In this episode, we're having a replay of a classic and much loved Halloween Candy episode. I'll be sharing with you how my family handles sweets, how we moved from a family with kids who were preoccupied with sweets to where kids feel really relaxed and easy-going around sweets and are able to listen to their bodies.
