[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly are we supposed to give kids with allergies or don’t eat sugar? Seems like money is the only thing you would find acceptable, which isn’t going to happen. I have a variety of candy and let kids pick. That’s the extent of it. You can’t please everyone all the time.[/quote] don’t eat sugar? If you don’t let your kids eat any sugar then you need to do something yourself with any other crazy friends you have that feel the same way and not even go TOT. [/quote]

I have a neighbor whose two sons are not neurotypical and who have intense behavioral issues and different physical abilities. They cannot eat sugar in the form of straight sugar/candy—they are OK with fruit and the amount of sugar that is in processed foods like jarred pasta sauce.

Also…did you know that some kids are diabetic? No one in our neighborhood, but a friend of ours has a kid with diabetes.

So anyway, yes, there are kids out there who cannot have sugar. My neighborhood is great about that and often offers non-sugary treats. As mentioned, Pirates Booty, Veggie Straws, small bags of pretzels, sugar free gum. These are just some ideas. There are a lot of things out there that are themed for this very purpose this time of year. Even pencils are fine, just not those stupid erasers that don’t even function.[/quote]
