[quote=Anonymous]I think most of this advice is pretty clueless from parents who have kids who self regulate well. I have a child that age with impulse control issues. She will hide sweets in her room or other places and binge eat them. The other day I saw her chugging a bottle of sprinkles that I’d just bought specially for a bake sale obligation for school. We are not a “no sweets” household and in fact eat dessert (often homemade) every day. But there is no such thing as reasonable intake for her, and she will eat an entire box of cookies that was supposed to be desert for the whole family, then lie about it. I would love real helpful advice. The “just buy a reasonable amount of sweets and let them eat what they want” works for some kids (and works totally for my other children)—- but not the kids with a real sugar addiction or impulse control issues.[/quote]
