 Re: What can you do about a child that is addicted to sugar. | |
Look into a book like: Little Sugar Addicts: End the Mood Swings, Meltdowns, Tantrums, and Low Self-Esteem in Your Child Today
My son has stolen change to get it since we don't have it in our home and he refuses to eat dinner and will choose to starve instead. The school system does not help and actually have candy as rewards in elementary school. I had typed a real long reply and it got lost so here is a short and sweet version.
I was appalled when I read the first several above responses; you do not have the control you think you do with a child that age unless you homeschool and are with them 24/7. I hate to see someone ask for help/idea over a real concern and see responses that make them feel like everyone thinks they are a bad parent and that's why they have the issue, or that the issue is not a genuine concern/problem. I wonder how many of them actually have children over the age of 6? |
