[quote=Anonymous]My kids teachers put candy on their desk if they keep it clean. I know some other parents are really struggling with this because their 8 year olds already have cavities so sucking on a Starburst a few times a week can do damage. I feel for them. Teachers, please consider that many kids don't do well with the food dyes and parents would like to be the ones to sometimes give their kids treats, but we never can if you're constantly plying them with junk. Also, consider that candy being a reward is a bad idea in general. We try to train our kids that food is food, neither good nor bad, but it does different things in our bodies. I "treat" my kids to outings, trinkets, experiences, etc. as much as possible before making it sweets. It sets up really bad associations.[/quote]
