If your child constantly wants mithai, biscuits, or fizzy drinks, you’re not alone. But sugar cravings usually mean something deeper:
🟡 Imbalanced meals – Too many carbs and not enough protein or fiber.
🟡 Emotional hunger – Kids often use sugar as comfort when bored, sad, or tired.
🟡 Blood sugar spikes – White bread, noodles, and processed snacks cause a crash that leads to more cravings.
What can you do?
- Start the day with protein: eggs, peanut butter toast, yogurt oats.
- Use natural sweet swaps: dates, honey, bananas, or fruit chaat.
- Avoid sugary drinks. Try sattu, mint lassi, or nimbu pani.
- Don’t ban sweets completely — teach balance instead.
Your goal is to stabilize blood sugar, not eliminate joy. And guess what? When the body is nourished well, cravings reduce on their own.
