As parents we try to minimize the amount of sugar that Hanna gets. I’m pushing toward eating more whole foods (foods with 5 or less ingredients), and trying to get rid of sugar and white flour as much as possible in our home.
The problem comes in at school…
I send Hanna a healthy, nutritious lunch every day.
Which she eats for the most part…
However, there are definitely behavior incentives that come in the form of sugary sweets. There also seems to be a lot of “special occasions” that include sweet treats. Today she came out with a lifesaver, and informed me they’d had sno cones in the gym as well.
I don’t want her to be the odd kid out… but I really don’t want her getting that much sugar every day.
I spoke with the teacher about the behavior incentives… but maybe I wasn’t clear. I don’t know.
I’m wondering…
If you’re a low/no sugar household…
How do you handle sweet treats at school?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject, and get some ideas on how I might handle this situation.
Thanks…
