Well there has been this long time running debate at my house with me and my wife. I believe that a little sweets are ok for a child that we shouldn’t deprive a child of life simple pleasures of having some sweets. While my wife hates giving anything that has sugar in it to our son. If I let him drink juice throughout the day she says he’s had to much sugar and becomes hyperactive. While I believe that it really doesn’t do anything to him since I don’t notice any great differences between when he has sweets to when he doesn’t. While I do believe that there is no nutritional value to sweets, I myself do love them and I can’t believe someone shouldn’t enjoy that wonderful part of the food world. While I still get a yelling from her when I give my son some sweets, since he does want sweets more that he wants regular food and that’s the hardest part when you give children sweets. You have to convice them that eating food for growth is not the same as just enjoying something sweet. Awhile back I remembered I got an e-mail from one of my friends that show a child going berserk while going to plan a game on his computer. Here is an example of what I believe most people think will happened when a child is overdosed on sugar.  Take a look and feel free to leave me  any comments!
