Manage the Candy - Create a System of Moderation
Halloween isn't just scary for kids.
It's scary for parents faced with a ginormous bag of candy in their house. Here are two ways I taught my kids to moderate their candy intake without a fight.
- First, I made a big paper calendar and let them tape a piece of candy to each day of November. That was their daily ration. I loved seeing them tape bigger pieces to weekends.
- Second, I told them to set up a candy store. Then I bought the rest of their candy from them.
- .10 cents for small pieces,
- .25 cents for medium pieces
- ONE WHOLE DOLLAR for full size candy bars!
It will be worth every penny.
