Dani Lebovitz says kids can use candy for playing, eating and learning.
While some parents may respond to that stress by quickly getting all the candy out of their house or hiding it from their kids, one mom,, says the days and weeks after Halloween are a perfect time for kids to learn, play with and, yes, even eat, candy." of her advice to parents and caregivers. "It's a little extra sugar. It's not going to influence or affect their lifelong health by having an abundance of candy today. In fact, it may even teach them some lifelong lessons.
"I pretty much keep a bowl of the Halloween candy out on our counter for the first week or two until my kids start to lose some interest in it and then I'll put it in the pantry," she said. "When we sit down for meals or snacks, I might put the bucket out or they may ask for it, and then I'm serving it, but I'm not just saying, 'OK, it's snack time. Here's the candy bowl.
"Just like any other snack, when we have meals and snack times, that's when they can have ," she said. "If they're like, 'Oh, I'm hungry,' and it's not what I've structured as a meal or snack time and they say they want a piece of candy, sometimes I say yes. Sometimes I say no, kind of gauging it on how ... I think they've met their variety of foods for the day.
Candies can also be a valuable learning tool for kids, according to Lebovitz, who said kids can sort the candy by shape, size and color, or use it to practice addition and subtraction, for example.
