I absolutely agree. I wish we had video of a dinner several years ago that my dh, parents, etc. themselves realized my ds changed radically in a matter of minutes after eating pie. I knew sugar effected him and kept it to a minimum in his diet, but this even took me by surprise. He went from sitting quietly to bouncing off the walls.

He's old enough now to have more control over the effects. Before he's given something sugar-laden, he's reminded that it's not an excuse to act up...it's an opportunity to show me he can control the effects of sugar so that he's more likely to be allowed a treat next time it's offered.

It's great that your ds can recognize the "sugar effect". Too many kids (and parents) don't see it.
I don't want to ban all sugar laden treats; I just want people to notice when they cause problems for kids. The problems can be managed.
