Sugar or no Sugar

I am writing today about the effects of sugar and what it will do to some kids. Well just for a little update my son loves his sugar. But he can't have it. Not because I don't want him to but because it makes him mean, out of controll like someone going through withdrawl and he just is a differnt kid. So the question is do I like to keep it away from him? Well I think we all know the answer to that but for the record NO I don't like to tell him he can't have it. On the other hand if you see how it makes him react then you would understand why I keep it away from him. Alot of people don't know how sugar makes a kid react. So ask yourself some questions like does my son get hyper or mean. Does he crave it all the time sometimes it may seem like they are going through withdrawl like a drug. Well in a sense to some kids sugar is a drug. I have found out with my son we have to keep him away from it completely. And it gets so aggravating when I tell someone he can't have that birthday cake and ice cream or can't have the special treats because all you hear is one little piece won't hurt him. Well that little piece will hurt him. And it is hard to tell him no when his sister is sitting there eating it. In his little mind he doesn't understand why he is being told no and everyone else is being told yes. I have found things that has very little sugar or no sugar in it that makes him feel like he is getting a special treat. Ending Note if your child is sensitive to sugar then it is your responsibilty to make your child feel normal by making sure he has special treat when around other people or just don't go around them. I have had to stay away from alot just for my son and I wouldn't give that up for anything in the world. If people don't understand then to me they really just don't care.
