Abbey Sharp emphasizes the importance of letting kids have unlimited access to Halloween candy for a few days, teaching them to build a healthy relationship with food.
According to Sharp, allowing kids to overeat candy can create a teachable moment about their body's sensations, countering the tendency to binge when sugar is restricted.
Sharp argues that ongoing access to candy helps children understand it’s not 'special or novel', reducing the urge to overindulge when encountering sweets.
After the initial candy overload, Sharp suggests returning to moderation by allowing one treat per day, promoting balance in their diet post-Halloween.
