[QUOTE="Snootybutnice, post: 1258023, member: 330477"] I just want to mention that I never gave my daughter any sweets when she was young - we lived in Spain at time and every lollipop that came her way I intercepted and said a nice thank you - with "I'll save it for her for later"(just to avoid people feeling embarrassed). We came back to the UK when she was around 2.5 years old and when she started school she gradually got access to sweets. For the first few years she didn't like them and claimed they were too sweet. When we went to a museum she opted for liquorice pontefract cakes as they didn't taste so sweet (although had as much sugar in them). She doesn't have diabetes but what I'm trying to say is that if your child is brought up without sweets, she probably won't really miss it that much until she gets to be 7 years old ish and then she may find herself under pressure of wanting to be the same as all of the other kids. I'm not sure if that helps at all!! [/QUOTE]
