I am sure I am not the only one who has heard horror stories about kids getting sick from eating enormous amounts of candy during Halloween. Lately, I have heard some suggestions such as allowing your child to eat only about 20% of the candy they get. Although my child is not old enough yet to decide on her own, I can imagine some of the struggles that parents may have in trying to limit their children's candy intake. As a parent, I have decided to avoid being part of the problem as much as I possibly can, so I have come up with some candy alternative ideas...
