[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa.  I am shocked that every one thinks this is okay.  Considering how many people grow up with unhealthy relationships to food, eating way too much sugar and junk all day long, I would never allow my child nightly ice cream.  Your husband needs to clean up his own diet and that's on him, but it's your responsibility to teach healthy eating habits, and daily ice cream isn't healthy in anyone's book.

Now, before everyone slams me, of course I let my child eat ice cream.  Just not every single night.  It's summer, enjoy that [b]weekly cone[/b], just don't make it a daily habit.  Sugar is addictive, the more you eat the more you crave.[/quote]

That is the saddest thing I've ever read. [/quote]

NP. My DD got some bad blood labs back from the doctor and has to seriously watch sugar intake. It's so hard now because almost all the other kids are eating ice cream all the time, and she gets it once a week. I feel sad for her. :-([/quote]

Do not give your kid sugar free stuff. It totally messes with their body. The mouth tastes sugar, prepares the body for sugar, no sugar shows up. Totally throws off the hormones and stuff. Give your kid real food in moderation.

Maybe your DD would like the sugar free popsicles or fudge sickles? There are also no sugar added lines of edy's and bryer's that might work.  The Edy's butter pecan is really good!

Also, the low cal ice cream called Halo Top has only five grams of sugar per serving so that might be an option.  I've heard Enlightened is low sugar as well but have not tried it.

All the best to your girl![/quote][/quote]

Wait, everyone is suggesting ways she can have ice cream every day even though she has a health problem that requires her to eat less sugar?  I do feel for her, but if she's still able to have ice cream once a week, she's doing fine.  You can find ways to do other fun, exciting activities with her more frequently -- like going to a park she really likes, going to a pool, etc. -- and giving her healthy foods that are low in sugar naturally.[/quote]
