Health experts say parents should encourage kids to make healthy habits when it comes to Halloween candy. Here are some tips: Don’t let them eat all of the candy until it’s gone. Instead, have them trade in their candy for something like books, toys or something of their choosing. Instead, parents should eat the candy. Then throw the rest away. “You would probably want to take some candy and leave a little bit and hide the rest maybe in a high closet or somewhere, where the children would not look,” Lorraine Price said, Clinical Dietitian at Jackson Madison County General Hospital.
