[quote=Anonymous]Are your kids active and otherwise healthy? If so, they will probably not develop type 2 diabetes in childhood. Your kid is old enough to say no to sweets. But, he can also say yes. My DH was really hardcore about sweets. It became forbidden. Then we discovered that DS was stealing candy from the grocery store. He would kind of gorge whenever sweets were offered to him. We changed our approach—sweets are a special treat, but it’s important to be healthy. DS is now 12 and is better about self regulation. My family is also always pushing sweets and other foods, but DS will say sometimes say no. They’ve also been better about offering fruit instead of sweets.[/quote]
