Most children love candy, but even with all the sweets they eat, are they being sweet?

Children and sugar… wow, what a busy combination!  Children will often go for the full-fisted approach when offered candy by way of a bowl or when trick or treating.

Teach your child to take only one piece of candy when offered.  Teach them not to hog a hand full or the whole bowl of candy.  Explain that there are others that may also enjoy some and that sometimes we get more, by taking less; this is called sharing.

The action of sharing teaches the bigger attitudes of happiness, selflessness, thoughtfulness, awareness of others and their feelings, and gives a sense of community, promotes civilization….and more.

Wow! That is a lot of lesson for one piece of candy, let them enjoy and savior the sweetness.
