Ha – you are lucky they don’t mind if you sneak away their candy. That doesn’t work for me anymore!

Cool that your dentist will do buy-backs! Holiday donations is a great idea too – if it lasts that long without being eaten!

Glad you liked the post Shayne. I’m guessing your kids are a lot younger than mine. Now that they are tweens/teens I could never limit them to 10 pieces! To me, the most important thing is to make sure they understand that candy is OK in moderation but healthy eating everyday is the key to living a healthy life!

It’s so nice to know that I’m not the only one who battles this. We have largely worked it out by limiting—they start out with about 40 pieces, and then they get to choose their favorites and narrow it down to 10 that they can keep—the rest either goes in the garbage (yucky gummy candy) or to my husband’s office (chocolates).
Thanks for the work you do. 🙂
