Having tasted these delights he came home and has been steadfastly refusing anything that might be decribed as healthy. This combined with the oncome of the 'terrible twos' has turned my sweet little child in a sugar monster! Has anyone encountered this sort of thing with their child? christine Unregistered   30/3/2008 20:54:04 RE: Healthy Eating IP: Logged Message: As a mother & childminder for over 20yrs,i can honestly say SUGER MAKES CHILDREN HIGH. offer white chocolate instead, but only as a treat not every day.The two's is a time when they are not babies any more & want everything NOW,its also a time when children see just how far they can push you,Don't take the bait,walk away. Make meal time fun,eat together,if you cant' then play games with the food while spooning it into his mouth.sing a song or hum a tune & be silly will feeding him,he won't even notice what his eating,it works!!
