[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The New York Times just wrote a piece on this! In a nutshell, the advice was to let them go nuts on Halloween night (or whenever the big night is), then move to having it as part of dessert or snack (at set times). It recommends against the switch witch, but that's not something we do so I'm not familiar with how that works.

OP here— thank you for posting this. We let him eat as much as he wanted on Halloween. And didn’t limit sweets over the weekend, because parties and grandparents were here. On Monday night, he didn’t want to eat dinner, just candy. We said No, you need to eat dinner then dessert. Total meltdown. After getting it together, he had a few  bites of dinner. And he picked out a KitKat—that he didn’t eat. But he held on to it and even slept with it. This morning you can feel the melted chocolate. But so adorable he just wanted to hold it. [/quote]
