[quote=Anonymous]Ha! You think you've got problems? My FIL wants to give my kid a cupcake (or two, if she asks for a second one) EVERY time he sees her. And that's every day. That said, I have no problem with juice, and I think all the pearl-clutching over "pure sugar!" is laughable. Sugar is food. There is nothing inherently wrong with sugar. What IS highly damaging is limiting a child's diet. Forbidden food is BAD. Kids should taste every food item that crosses their awareness, and they should know what they are eating. At 5, my kid makes pretty good food choices on her own, and it's not because she was denied things. It's because I talk to her about every thing she eats. The time will come when you will not be there to snatch the capri-sun from your child's hand, and if your child thinks that this is the only juice he's going to see all year, he's more likely to have three of them at that drop-off birthday party. Educate him, don't control him. It will backfire. [/quote]
