How long does a sugar rush last?  If they overdo on Monday afternoon, they'll be restless all night.  Bye Tuesday morning they should be exhausted and struggling to stay awake in class.


They won't be struggling to stay awake -- trust me.

By now you should be used to it. After all it happens every year.

Why?


For the reasons I've already stated.  It's an exciting day full of sugar and fun and they'll still be hyped up from it.

I have really wondered about this @sunshine45. When we lived in a suburb outside of Buffalo, trick or treating used to be such a huge thing. Adults would outside with fire pits just talking to all the neighbors while the kids went door to door. I had many neighbors who even set their garages up as mini haunted houses and the adults dressed up too and played scary music. Rarely any of the houses did not participate. There was hot cider and donuts for the adults. When we moved down here (NC), it seems like most didn't even hand out candy. It made me wonder if most places just weren't into Halloween like they used to be or if the place I lived was just really into it. My daughter always talks about how much fun her Halloweens were there so I am glad she got to experience that.

In my area Halloween is celebrated the Thursday before Oct 31 as far as Trick or Treating.

 

I don't understand why there are still people who believe that sugar makes kids hyper or changes their temperament.  There are many studies that have proved that this is not true.

 

I do know that chocolate makes me happy and there are studies to prove that chocolate is mood altering. 


@Carmie

Recently I read an article about sugar and hyperactivity.  The conclusion was there was little correlation between the two.

 

We ate candy and sweets as children and were able to control our behavior.
