Halloween Pro Tip: Stay Calm and Let Kids Be Kids. ⠀

Halloween Pro Tip: Stay Calm and Let Kids Be Kids. ⠀
⠀
My Halloween candy suggestion ala the advice of the renown feeding expert Ellyn Satter is: serve an early dinner, go trick or treating, have your child check out his loot, eat as much as desired on Halloween night. Then, put it away and delegate it to future planned snacks and/or mealtimes. ⠀
⠀
At snacks, let kids eat as much as their tummies desire. At mealtimes, you pick the portion of dessert to serve ALONGSIDE dinner. ⠀
⠀
Treating candy like it's a hot commodity, makes it one. Treating it like just a food that people eat on certain holidays, makes it no big deal. ⠀

Happy Halloween! 🎃
