Having these 2 diseases at your doorstep makes us have to re-think &
question so many aspects of our lives. Would a child be just as thrilled
to find an Easter basket filled with a jump rope, colored chalk, cool
markers & stickers & other fun stuff, than gross amounts of sugar laden
things that cause children who are given way too much of it to act
weirdly on holidays that have traditionally been focused, or at least
have a heavy emphasis on candy? It seems much of society continues this
tradition, even though we know it's bad healthwise. It's getting easier
for me to walk on by the entire aisle dedicated to easter candy... but I
think it's especially hard for kids w/ cel-diab to have these holiday
affronts. I have 2 kids, (currently don't exhibit either disease), but
realize they have the genetic potential to wind up with both. I'm trying
to break these old habits & traditions, and maybe help them avoid
winding up where I have.
I'd like to kick some of these ideas around... listmates ?
