how much candy do you let your kids eat. my daughter will eat some chocolate once in a while but she's not big on any of the chewy candy's. so i'd say a little chocolate i a week of every other week is all she really eats, but she does eat some junk food as well, that's a little more often.

I usually give my daughter a pack of fruit snacks a day.

I try not to give him much at all. I give him some chocolate milk, but I try to keep him away from it. I'd say maybe once a month. But he can have chips or something like that probably 3 times a month.

I let my daughter have chocolate or a little candy when she asks me for it. But she hardly ever asks for candy. I guess she really doesn't have a bug sweet tooth. She's not a big one for desert after dinner either. If I make cake or pie she just has a really tiny piece because that's all she wants. She does like chips once in awhile but she basically goes more for bananas an apples or fruit snacks. I guess I'm pretty lucky when it comes to that.

I usually give my toddlers one sweet thing a day.As seeing his grandmas give them sweets especially my husbands mom and it drives me nuts.I give them chocolate milk once a day.My son and daughter do not like pop.Which is a good thing.My son would perfer to have chocolate milk to pop.I sometimes might occasionally on Easter or Christmas or other hoildays give them an extra peice of something sweet.

I try not give alot. My kids won't even finish a lolly pop they are not that big on candy and I think thats because I never gave it to them all the time or everytime they ask for it. They usually get it after earning it and sometimes as a treat. claire

I never really had to worry about chocolate till my daughter got older. When she was younger she loved fruits and vegetables. I would have to go to the store and buy those veggie platter once a month just for her. She loves to this day broccoli and carrots with a little ranch dressing on the side. I also buy a lot of fruit in the summer as well. Try the trail mix stuff but read the back first some of them have too much salt. My daughter loved the hydrated fruit in these.
