This is episode 31 of Tidy Tidbits, and it’s on the topic of Halloween, which always falls on October 31st. Spooky! Today we’re talking about the scary topic of what to do with all the candy after Trick or Treating. Let’s tackle this sweet dilemma!

In this episode, Tidy Dad and Megan McNamee discuss the challenges parents face with Halloween candy. They explore the excitement children have for collecting candy, the importance of ownership, and how to manage candy consumption in a healthy way. The conversation includes practical tips for integrating candy into creative snack ideas that use the Halloween treats while maintaining a balanced diet.

Tidy Takeaways:

* Consider letting your kids choose how much candy to eat on Halloween.

* Parents choose WHEN to serve candy - with lunch, after school, after dinner, etc.

* When candy doesn’t feel “off limits”, it often loses it’s luster after a few days.
