It is known that in most cases sweets have a negative effect on the growing body of a child, especially if parents do not control this moment.

But you can’t give up desserts completely: this is unlikely to do any good for children.

In this case, you just need to choose the "right" sweets.

What to look out for

Homemade baking

There is nothing wrong with occasionally treating your child to a piece of charlotte, a cinnamon bun or a berry pie. In this case, you control the composition of the dish yourself.

Homemade candies

There are many recipes for healthy candies based on pumpkin, nuts, coconut flakes or cocoa. Such candies will be much healthier than store-bought ones.

Fruit drinks and compote instead of juice and soda

Children really like sweet drinks, but they cause great harm to the body. But homemade fruit drinks, compote, lemonades or even non-alcoholic cocktails will be a great alternative.

Desserts with natural ingredients

These can be found in health food stores, some pastry shops and coffee shops. You just need to ask the employees about the ingredients of a particular dessert.
