Imagine this... It's the day after the fall festivities.

Your sensitive child's treat bag is overflowing with candy. They've already had several meltdowns begging for "just one more piece".

Will restrictions just make candy even more enticing and lead to sneaking treats later?

Listen to this episode for 3 principles to keep in mind.
