Taming The Sugar Monster Over Easter Easter is such a special time, filled with family, connection, and yes—plenty of chocolate….which can come with some serious sugar swings and bad behaviour!   In this episode, I'm diving into practical ways to help your children enjoy Easter treats, without the chaos. I share my own family's Easter traditions, including my nonna's beloved Italian Easter bread, and reflect on how these food memories can shape our children's relationship with eating.
