I refuse to let diet culture creep into my favorite holiday.
each fall, I begin to notice a theme in online parenting groups and playground chats. Not only is it time for DIY Elsa wigs and trying to figure out how an“How do you ration the candy your kids get trick-or-treating? I don’t want a free-for-all!” says one mom. “We don’t eat refined sugar, so we leave our candy out for the Switch Witch, who will give them some organic fruit snacks,” chides another.
I want to preface my rant by saying some kids don’t have free access to candy due to allergies or medical conditions. To those parents navigating a tough, treat-filled holiday and creating inventive candy swaps, you’re rock stars. The messages are loud and insidious, and it feels like a daily battle to convince my kids to love the body they were given. If I let her parade around in hercostume, filling her plastic pumpkin with treats, and then act as if the spoils of her evening are toxic, I am just reinforcing that negative messaging.“But what if they get a belly ache?” They then learn that too much candy in one sitting doesn’t make them feel good. They learn to listen to their body. We talk about it.
