Stephanie2377 - sounds like a good idea. We currently do lock up treats. With the idea of each child with their own (the oldest is 18 and she'll go to the yogurt shop and gets what she likes) jar is good, he'd probably take treats from the others. We have talked to him about trust, but either I am not explaining it properly or he isn't willing to conform.

One thing I mention which no one has commented on - is my son's change in behavior after eating sweets - my wife says he becomes rude and out of hand - have others observed a change in behavior? I can see more energy for a short time.

SageMother - I have often thought that in Europe there are less issue with children such as obesity, drinking and teenage pregnancies, but never found any facts. Do you have info about Germany?
