Why not giving our kids sugar benefits my family

-they have healthy teeth. I have a ex best friend who has a 3 year old & his teeth always hurt & he already has cavities. He already has to get root canals. She gives him soda & cake nearly everyday

-I could be sitting in the living room in front of them eating ice cream & they wouldn’t ask for none. Because they don’t get ice cream. Call me a “bad mom” or whatever but if you never give them sugar the less health issues they will have

-obesity. I know twins that were 150 pounds at the age of 5. I mean feed your kids till they’re full but don’t give them sugar until they can’t control themselves. That’s like purposely forcing obesity on kids

-treats are only for birthday parties & holidays. It won’t mean much to them if they get sweets every day. If you give them sweets on there birthday, I promise they won’t want anything else(they still get presents)

-it flunks there growth. Giving kids sweets flunks there growth. I want them to grow, be healthy & happy. Always.

-we reward good behavior with a snack or fruit . You don’t have to give them candy/soda/donuts/ice cream etc to show you are proud of there good work. Give them there favorite food or buy them a new toy. When we reward good behavior we take our kids outside to play, or swim, or give them a new toy car, or give them strawberries. Just remember that they love you for who you are but sugar is unnecessary when your kids are small
