Yes. We always have sugary treats available in the house--I love to bake, and I knew too many kids whose parents banned sugar who grew up to be gobblehounds because they'd never learned to have treats responsibly. But that's what they are in our house: treats. You get one after a healthy dinner. On the weekend, you can have one in the afternoon, too, if you like, because they've been active all day. My older daughter isn't a big fan of them but my younger is, so I actually watch her intake and have regular talks with her about responsible eating and the dangers of becoming fat. Luckily they're both little shitladies, but still...my youngest's sweet tooth is something I am constantly watching. I wouldn't be doing my job as her mom if I didn't.
