There\u2019s hope for us all! Here are four easy ideas to try this Halloween season to achieve balance in the autumnal aisle of your favorite store, at home on Halloween night, and on the sugar-high days that follow!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Candy Can Wait<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buy your family\u2019s Halloween candy just before October 31<sup>st<\/sup>. This way, you\u2019ll be able focus on enjoying sweet treats right around when the ghosts and goblins come knocking on doors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade Candy For Family Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every parent has that one kid\u2019s activity, the one toy or craft your child always wants you to help with, that drives them batty &#8212; for me, it\u2019s Play-Doh. This November, barter with your kiddo by asking your child to swap pieces of candy for their favorite active family game, iPad time, or even that fragrant molding clay that you can\u2019t bear to touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s As Easy As ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allow your kiddo to select and keep two pieces of candy for every letter of the alphabet, to be enjoyed over a period of time. For example, they might decide to keep 1 <strong>M<\/strong>ilky Way and 1 bag of <strong>M<\/strong>&amp;Ms, 2 <strong>K<\/strong>it-Kats, 1 <strong>T<\/strong>wizzler and 1 <strong>T<\/strong>wix, 2 boxes of <strong>N<\/strong>erds, 1 sleeve of <strong>S<\/strong>marties and 1 <strong>S<\/strong>nickers Bar, and so on. This is a built-in moderation tool (a max of 52 pieces kept,) an educational opportunity for young candy lovers to go over their ABCs, and it\u2019s also a trick that might encourage picky candy eaters to try a Baby Ruth or a Zagnut bar, for example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sugar for Soldiers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Encourage philanthropy on Halloween night and make a chocolate and non-chocolate candy donation pile for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.operationgratitude.com\/halloween-candy-buy-back-2012\/\">Operation Gratitude<\/a>. They will help supply our troops with a portion of your family\u2019s Halloween treats!<\/p>\n<p><em>Jeff Bogle is Together Counts Ambassador, and an at-home dad who writes humorously about parenting and All Things Childhood on his site\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.outwiththekids.com\/\"><em>Out With The Kids<\/em><\/a><em>.
