A. Just don’t buy them any more! Show your daughter the cupboard is empty. If she is hungry, she will eat what you give her. Of course all children would prefer to eat popular snacks and sweets but as a mother, you want your child to be healthy, don’t you? I tried to restrict all sugar and salt when my children were little but I found that other people were the problem - I would take my toddler to a mother and toddler group and someone would stick a biscuit in her hand. My daughter now says that because I tried to restrict sweets and snacks, she craved them and now eats all the unhealthy things I tried to stop her having (she is 32!) So, I suppose a compromise is needed. You could buy chips at the weekend but only if your daughter has eaten a healthy breakfast during the week. My grandchildren love porridge for breakfast but have never eaten it with sugar so know no better. It is often adults who assume, because of their own tastes, that certain foods need added sugar or salt
