Tricks for Treats: Tips to help kids responsibly enjoy Halloween candy
  1. Set a portion size. Let each child know how much they are allowed to eat daily and when they can eat it. Freeze and dole it out over a longer period of time.
  2. Use a “buy back” program. Let your children choose several of their favorite candies to enjoy. Then “buy” the rest of the candy in exchange for a special toy, book or other treat.
  3. Pair it up. When your child asks for some candy, pair it with something healthy, like a banana, apple or nuts.
  4. Avoid buying candy too early. This helps your family avoid eating candy before the holiday begins.
  5. Mindful enjoy. Enjoy Halloween candy as a dessert after dinner instead of a snack to avoid overeating.
