Abstract
Halloween is a very exciting time for children and let’s face it, for many adults, too.
The costumes, decorations and of course the treats all contribute to the thrill of this spooky holiday. However, as parents and dietitians who research children’s eating, we often find ourselves grappling with the challenge of the avalanche of sugary treats.
Depending on how much your children collect on the night, the lollies can hang around for days or weeks.
Balancing our children’s enjoyment of treats with their health can be a challenging task, but there are strategies to help.
