As children grow, they quickly learn that sugary treats can be a powerful bargaining chip. Retailers strategically place candy near checkout lines, enticing tired parents just before they make their purchases. With Halloween bringing an abundance of sugary delights, it’s no wonder parents may find themselves eyeing the haul of candy their children collected. If you’re considering indulging in some of that candy without your little ones catching on, follow these steps:
Step One
Persuade your children that the best place to store their Halloween loot is either in the back of the refrigerator or in an inaccessible high cabinet. Make it sound urgent by suggesting that pests or even mischievous ghosts might raid their stash if it’s not secured properly.
Step Two
After your children are asleep, take their candy bag and spread it out on a table. Carefully assess the collection, separating the desirable treats from those less favored—yes, that means you, Sweet Tarts.
Step Three
While it’s tempting to take all the mini Snickers and Mars bars, practice moderation. Select a few pieces from both the desirable and less desirable piles. It’s a small sacrifice for the sake of parental happiness, right?
Step Four
Stash your selected treats in a hiding spot your child is unlikely to discover. A clever place could be inside a box of frozen lima beans. Once concealed, place the box back in the freezer to throw off any suspicion.
Step Five
If your child starts to notice a dwindling candy supply and inquires about it, steer the conversation towards healthier eating habits. Propose a break from sugar for a couple of weeks, which will likely quiet their concerns.
Some may criticize this behavior as unfair to children. However, consider that from September’s back-to-school excitement through to February’s Valentine’s Day, kids enjoy numerous celebrations filled with toys and sweets. So, treat yourself to those mini Snickers without guilt—you’ve earned it!
