5 Reasons Why You Should Not Let Your Child Eat Candy

Idalia Benavides
Candy is the worst thing that your children can be eating on a regular basis; don't let this happen at all unless you have a good reason to be letting them as that can have serious consequences in the future. In this article I will talk about 5 reasons why you should not let your child eat candy.

- It's bad for their minds
Candy hurts the mind insanely for kids. There are many things that can start to happen without you even noticing that it's the result of a candy consumption. Once your kid starts to falter in school and get bad attitudes and moods you will start to wonder why this is happening, but the main reason for that is the candy that they are eating. Their mind is not used to this sugar rush and it will reject it badly giving your child a headache after a while which will make them start to act up.

- It's bad for their stomachs
If your kid gets regular tummy aches and you don't know why, it might be because of all the candy that he/she is eating; stop this now before it gives them an ulcer or even diabetes. You should tell them that it is the candy that's giving them tummy aches and you will soon notice that they on their own will want to stay away from too much candy or any at all because they will start to realize that you are right.

- It's bad for their teeth
This is the main reason why you should not let your kids eat candy at all, especially when they're young and they don't yet have such strong teeth. What candy will do is rot them and there will be no way to get those teeth back in good conditions.

- It's not real food
If you suddenly ask your kid if he/she is hungry and their response is no, you better hope that they are not saying that because they had a candy bar. Let them know that that is not real food and that it is hurting them. At this point you should limit their candy consumption as their bodies can't just live off of food. Young children should be eating food that's going to help their minds and bodies grow not slow them down.

- It will give them energy but never enough
Your kids will definitely have energy after eating a candy bar and that might seem like good to you; it's really bad though. That energy doesn't last long at all and you should know that and not allow for that to happen. Instead you should tell your children that real food will make them stronger, happier, and healthier and you should tell them about the disadvantages that candy bars bring them.

    Amanda do understand what ur sayin? This is a worse case senario its like feed ur kid with candy and no healthy food at all. Ive grown up eating candy and today im still a hardwroking student. I dont thinks its only the cady that makes a person lazy and mad. I think its from thier genes and thier DNA and the personality. If we didnt have any candy then the world would be full of strong and healty and smart humans? You have to think outside the Box some times. And By the way, i dont got any holes in my teeth at all because i brush em O_o

    You all sound dumb. Candy is terrible for kids. Wait until your kids go to the dentist and they tell you that your child's teeth are decaying and that you have been giving them too much candy. My child use to eat a huge amount of candy and now she eats ZERO, NONE... that is because she complained of headaches about 30 minutes every day after eating candy. We took her to the doctor for the head aches and we were asked by the doctor how much candy she consumes in a day... he said the result of the head aches was from the candy. You all need to read your facts and get them straight before you treat your kid like this and in the end put them through the misery of having them sit in a dentist chair getting most of their teeth filled, capped, and pulled and stuck with a fake.
