[quote=Anonymous]My parents did not have any junk food or sweets in the house (chips, coke, candy, etc.) and as a result when my sister and I where in a home that had junk food, we devoured the food (and probably embarrassed ourselves). I’ve seen this with my DC’s guests. Kids who are denied junk food just devour it at our home. Based on my upbringing, I’m teaching my DCs moderation with junk food and sweets. We buy chips, etc. for guests and holidays but it’s not an everyday event. We bake desserts for holidays, but do not have them everyday. It seems to be working as when DCs are with us at a party, they do not devour the junk food like I did because I never had any and if there are leftovers, they do not even finish them. Consider teaching them moderation. [/quote]
