Easter is coming soon! And according to a new survey, 92% of people celebrating the holiday say they’ll buy Easter CANDY.
Which, you know, is fine, you can get a little carried away, I’m sure. So here’s a little experiment idea on how to prepare.

1. Buy small.
That is, the candy AND the Easter basket itself. If the basket is small, it probably won’t take as many candies to fill it, and fun-sized candy can make a big difference in how much sugar your child eats at the same time.
2. Fill it with pieces that aren’t sweet.
Such as stickers, crayons, Legos, crayons, and art supplies. Or little toys that you know they love.
3. Set some expectations.
A simple way to restrict your child’s candy intake is to bring them a note from the Easter Bunny, telling them how much they can eat each day. That way, YOU may not look like the bad guy.
4. Be physically active.
Like incorporating candy into a scavenger hunt or adding candy to a bag of treats on a hike together.
5. Be prepared ahead of time for spots.
While I’m sure you want your kids to look more productive at church services, when it comes to dining and laughing at home, dress them casually. They’ll find a way to put chocolate on their shirts. And hair, right? And you know it’s going to rain on Friday night, which means the Easter egg hunt will be PREGNANT. Grass stains, encrusted mud, construction. Get your washing machine ready and take inventory of stain remedies now. .
Good luck, parents!
