🎃 Costumes, candy, and all the spooky fun. Halloween is magical for kids (and let’s be real… for parents too 😉). But along with the sugar rush usually comes the sugar crash. One minute they’re bouncing off the walls, the next they’re melting into a pumpkin puddle on the couch.
Here’s the thing, it’s not just the sugar. When your child’s nervous system is already stressed or running on overload, it can’t regulate blood sugar, digestion, or emotions as smoothly. That’s why some kids handle the excitement just fine… and others totally crash.
💡 A few tips to help:
🕸️ Feed them a solid, balanced dinner before heading out.
🕸️ Encourage water breaks between houses.
🕸️ Keep bedtime rhythms as close to normal as you can (even if it’s a bit later).
🕸️ And of course, keep their nervous system clear and adaptable with regular chiropractic care.
A calm, well-regulated nervous system = a kid who can handle the sugar, the excitement, and the late-night chaos like a champ.
So go ahead and enjoy the candy, soak in the fun, and know their little bodies are ready for it all! 🩷🍬✨
