Turns out there’s no one right answer for what to tell your child about celebration foods or candy.
Yes, you can let your child eat as much as they want. Yes, you can decide when the food is available and to not make certain foods available all the time.
Yes, you can serve it with a meal.

There’s one thing that Jennifer Anderson from Kids Eat in Color recommends against in almost every case though, and that is using dessert as a bribe to get your child to eat other foods. It seems to “work”, the only problem is, it almost always works against the parent in the long run. Basically kids hear “broccoli is worse than chocolate” and then they want broccoli less, they want chocolate more, and they may be less likely to try new foods as a result.
