Beat Sugar Addiction Now! for Kids: The Cutting-Edge Program That Gets Kids Off Sugar Safely, Easily, and Without Fights and Dramaby Jacob Teitelbaum M.D. & Deborah Kennedy Ph.D.

The book starts of by explaining that many kids are having high levels of sugar intake which is beyond the recommend level. In the six chapter book parents are given the following

– A tool kit for ensuring success.

– Information on how to limit your kids sugar intake

– Revamping breakfast

– Reduce sweets and having healthy snacks

-Make over desserts

– Finding and replacing hidden sugars

There has been many studies linking a diet high in sugar to ADHD, cavities and diabetes among others. The authors recommend starting by calculating the among of sugar your child consumes on a daily basis and work from there on how to reduce it. Once you know the among the kids take it is time to diligently reduce the among to acceptable levels.

My thoughts

I was surprised to know that a bar of chocolate candy contains more caffeine then a cup of hot cocoa. The information offered in this book isn’t something new and there is no new magic formula or plan which is taught. However it does give me a clearer understanding on how sugar enters our daily diet and how I can make sure that the kids eat more healthy.

Message about children

Life has changed a lot since the kids arrived. No doubt there has been constant changes and revisions to our lifestyles it certainly has been for the better. A lot of adjustments have been made over the years for our expanding family and it’s growing needs. There is rapid changes in the dynamics of the family as the kids grow and we age.

Like the flowers that I have been buying weekly, kids come in different shades with different personalities. Each of them with their unique qualities and charisma moving from a bud into full bloom as they pass through their childhood.

Whether the bud blossoms and blooms has to do with our careful nurturing and pruning. The correct amount of watering and fertilizer given will ensure that the flower will be able to come into full bloom and be it’s prettiest in time to come.

As a parent I hope to be able to be there to witness the kids blossoming and for them to come into their full potential when they become adults.
