[quote=Anonymous]Aww. I was raised in a home with very restricted sweets and I remember getting caught hiding chocolate chips in a sock at this age. When I left home, I ate two candy bars a day for a couple years (and also had a serious eating disorder so I didn't eat much else). Now for myself and my kid, my policy is if it's in the house help yourself. Occasionally she will eat a lot of candy, but more often I have to throw the candy on our snack shelf out when it gets gross and stale. I notice that compared to her friends she is much more restrained around sweets and will often say no thank you to a cupcake or whatever treat. It can feel really weird to lift the rules but for most (not all, some people don't develop that internal sense of when to stop and need external control) it really works if you give it a bit of time.[/quote]
