Taming The Sugar Monster Over Easter

Easter is such a special time, filled with family, connection, and yes—plenty of chocolate….which can come with some serious sugar swings and bad behaviour!  

In this episode, I’m diving into practical ways to help your children enjoy Easter treats, without the chaos. I share my own family’s Easter traditions, including my nonna’s beloved Italian Easter bread, and reflect on how these food memories can shape our children’s relationship with eating.

It’s not about restriction—it’s about supporting your child with nourishing food, clear boundaries, and some clever strategies that will make this Easter feel more balanced for everyone.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Sugar Management Made Simple
  Practical tips to reduce sugar overload without taking away from the fun of Easter.

• Start the Day Right
  The importance of what we do first thing.

• Toddler vs Big Kid Strategies
  Different approaches depending on age, stage, and your family's approach..

• Building Food Memories
  How family food traditions are so valuable.

• The Magic of Movement
  Ideas to get your kids active over the holidays—helping to regulate behaviour and burn off that excess energy.
