Some of the physical, emotional, and behavioral cues might not be that easy to decipher for parents. In this episode, we're going to review how to identify it, what it does, the role it has in your child's health, and most importantly, what to do about it.

In this episode of the Clean Eating for Kids podcast, let's deep dive into these proven techniques to transition your family to eating clean, removing harmful sugars successfully in your home, and allow your kids to enjoy healthier sweet alternatives.
Key points that you will learn in this episode:
✔️ Learn specific ways to deal with kids of different ages that may already be addicted to sugar. Lead by example by eating a healthy diet, exercise, and have mellow conversations around why sugar isn't the best choice.
✔️ Monitor how your kids feel and behave during and after sugar consumption. You can teach them how to monitor their behavior by discussing it calmly and gently. Explain why they have a sugar crash and have a conversation as to why that happened. Sugar took control of their emotions because it's very addictive and rushes hormones to their brain. And when it burns out, it takes those good hormones away.
✔️ Combine reward systems with reducing sugar. When kids are begging for candy bars at the store, tell them that they can have it if they buy it. If they spent too much of their allowance and hard-earned cash on sugar snacks, they can't buy what they're saving for or have a fun activity out with their friends. Doing so gives them the gift of learning how to manage their own money and teaches the consequences of an action to their health goals.
✔️ Familiarize and incorporate suggested alternatives into the family's diet. Practitioners recommend stevia, manuka honey, agave, coconut sugar, and other natural sweet sources that, from an evolutionary perspective, our bodies are accustomed to.
✔️ Keep those healthy snacks on hand. When our kids and we experience a sugar crash or just a general dip in energy, we reach for foods high in sugar to make us feel better. Think of keeping chopped watermelon or pineapple in the fridge for quick grabbing and make it easy for you to avoid sugary temptations.
