What parent doesn’t dread the sugar-infused mayhem that follows an Easter egg hunt? Well never fear the bunny and his basket of goodies because we’ve got ten tried and true ways to prevent those candy-filled temper tantrums and the irritable blood sugar crashes that inevitably put an end to an otherwise enjoyable family holiday.
Here are 10 effective ways to prevent a sugar binge on Easter…
Ban Candy with Added Dyes and Color
It’s often not the sugar that causes behavioral issues in kids, like temper tantrums, it’s the food dyes and added food coloring that kids might have an extreme reaction to. So instead, try having a limited supply of healthier treats on hand. Some great healthier alternatives include homemade rice crispy squares, homemade fudge, and organic and dark chocolate—instead of processed junk.
Better yet, encourage your kids to join in on the fun and have them take part in making their Easter treats. They’ll enjoy getting creative in the kitchen, and you’ll enjoy the memories!
