Mum's the Word: Trick or treat? Getting kids to eat the good stuff can prove scary

All parents have endless battles trying to get their kids to eat good food and I am sure I am not the only one plagued by endless requests for treats. Joan asks so often I have grown to hate the word. Also I am tired of hearing myself say “No!” or “It’s not a treat if you have it every single day.”

I do, however, admire the parents who seem to have it sussed. Either they limit treats to once or twice a week and that is all the kids have ever known, which is very smart. Or the kids actually don’t crave them like one pal of Joan’s who just doesn’t want or ask for sweet stuff. I marvel at it, truth be told!
