You are a conc...You are not a failure by any means. You are a concerned mom. I also dislike Halloween for the same reasons that you listed - scariness, sugar, cost. When I taught a pre-school class we would have a "costume" day sometime during the year because kids love to dress up. Your kids are a bit young yet, but my kids loved to create their own costumes. They would come up with an idea, and then I'd help them implement it. <br />As far as the sugar is concerned, it is possible to raise a kid who doesn't eat sugar. My nephew had none till about age 5. When offered lollipops at the doctor's office, he'd politely refuse. Once kids have had that taste, it's a bit harder. But it's your house and you can set the rules in your house. You can't always control what they eat/do elsewhere, but you can control it in your home. Don't be afraid to go sugarless. Let them go trick or treating and have one item when they get home, and then take the rest to a homeless shelter or food bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
