Do you think rewarding with sugar has gotten to be a problem? Any ideas of what parents can do to help with this? What do you do in your family to help avoid sugar overeating? I have no problem with my kids having a piece of candy now and again but I feel like (at least where we live) the whole sugar-reward thing has gotten hugely out of hand. In fact it’s used as a reward for pretty much everything.ĭoes anyone else find this a little bit concerning?

There’s treats and sugary drinks after every sports game they play.

There’s candy and sugar-filled treats galore at school and at church.

We go to the grocery store and they’ve got a free candy bin. We go to the bank and they give out suckers. The whole process has been eye opening for me. It’s really crazy how many treats kids are offered everywhere they go. And a couple of times a week I will make a honey-sweetened dessert for our family. He loves fresh fruit and I always try to keep lots of that on hand–oranges, bananas, apples, etc. People are always asking me what my son does eat for treats. None of it. Not that he hasn’t been offered it. I’ve mentioned before that one of my sons has gone over 2 years without any sugar sweetened treats. In fact in some ways it’s actually easier for me to go without sugar completely than to exercise control to just eat one normal sized piece. That’s something that’s been difficult for me. I’ve gone for several months without eating processed sugar and it was amazing what a difference I felt in my body.Ĭurrently I do eat sugar but I’m trying to intentionally make portion control choices like eating one brownie rather than the whole pan. Have you ever intentionally tried going without sugar for any amount of time? No refined sugar.īut before I get into the recipe I’ve got a question for you. Today I’m sharing another yummy homemade treat for you that’s sweetened with honey.
