How strict should parents be with their kids about Halloween candy consumption? An expert weighs in
Briefly

"We have to be really careful in today's times to really not be pushing because you want to be skinny or you want to look a certain way or you want close to fit a certain way... It can make them anxious. It can make them self-conscious - have low self-esteem."
"It's sort of taking health and health and fitness even and making it so extreme that now you've got kids who are truly developing pretty much a disordered eating situation."
"When it comes to eating, parents should think in terms of 'How do you feel? Are you able to do the sports that you want to do? Are you able to think as clearly and as quickly as you want to in the classroom?'"
"You want to create that sense of like, nothing is forbidden. Instead, focus on health over image and allow treats during special occasions like Halloween."
