What's your Halloween candy policy?

[Anonymous]

How much candy are you going to allow on Halloween night? Do you plan to manage candy consumption afterwards, such as number of candy/day, etc.? How many?

As much as his little tummy will hold. He can learn a lesson like I did many years ago. It's fun!

The 12yo is old enough to self regulate. She's underweight anyway. I just remind her to brush her teeth more often.

The 9yo gets more candy than her sister. It's a free for all Halloween night, then 1-2 pieces each day until it's gone.

We've never done it before, but I'm thinking I might have the switch witch visit this year.

If they are my kids they will only over dose the first couple days after that they stop eatting it

I'd never heard of it before. Is this too old? Obviously they won't believe it's true but it sounds like a cute way to get rid of the candy.

I let them eat as much candy as they can for 2-3 days. anything remaining gets tossed/goes missing. We don't keep candy in the house and it rarely gets bought.

The switch witch is kind of like the tooth fairy -- comes in the night, takes the candy, and leaves a toy in exchange.

When they were little, no more than 10.

As they got older it was a guideline but we did not regulate it.

One child threw up after eating 20 pieces... I think he was 6 or 7.

He literally turned green... I thought that was just a tv thing... But I saw it with my own eyes.

Also we donate all but a bowl full and throw away anything still around at Christmas.

That's what my son does. So I don't regulate.

As much as she wants on the first night and one piece a day after that.
