[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 1st grader and this is the first year she’s really focused on her candy.  In the past, we let her eat a few pieces for a few days and then she forgot about it.  I’m wondering what others do?  She wants to take a piece with her to school to have with her lunch every day…and she has enough to do that for the whole year, probably!

She generally eats well and we often have desserts [b]so it’s not like I’m particularly uptight about candy[/b]…but I also want to set a good precedent for the coming years.  Anyone have suggestions?  Do you let your kids consume all of their candy?  Do they have to pace themselves?  At some point, do you make the remainder disappear?  We live in a densely packed neighborhood so she has SO MUCH CANDY!

[b]Ps. I did eat a Reese’s from her bag after she left for school, so maybe I just need to manage my own consumption and not hers.[/b] [/quote]
You ate a whole piece of candy??!! You are uptight about candy if you felt like you needed to mention this.

I let my kid moderate. The first few days he eats a lot, some days very little, eventually he decides I can take it in to work. I have issues with food, if I try to limit it makes me want it more so I try not to pass it on to my kid.[/quote]
