Do you think giving children sugary sweets and pop is a bad thing?
If they are drinking it all the time then yes, you should cut back. I think one drink (12oz can, not 20oz bottle) a day wouldn’t hurt… like at lunch time. My 2 yr old gets sips off of my sodas every now in then (but I hardly drink them now, I drink sweet tea, which is still gonna make them hyper lol). I don’t give them to her to drink all herself though, because she is only 2, but a sip won’t hurt her. As for the chocolate & candy, the only thing like that my daughter eats is m&ms. She gets like 10 m&ms a day (thats just a guess, lol). I try to make a whole bag last a week and I don’t give the 10 to her all at once. I give her 1 here or 2 there, when I need to bribe her into doing something (for example: she just got her ears pierced, and she hates when I clean them, but I offer m&ms and she’s fine lol). Anyway, but like I said, as long as its like once a day or so (not eating/drinking it all day) then I think it should be ok. Hope I helped! =) edit: oh & I don’t know how old your ki
