Thursday when I went in search of the trick or treat bag. I found it
still with candy from last year.

Two friends went out with Dylan. They are older than Dylan and one is an
unschooler, no candy limits, the other gets candy rarely.
When we came home the girl who seldom gets candy started munching like
mad. Dylan sorted the kinds he likes into a bowl and said his dad could
have the rest. Dylan's share fit into a cereal bowl, and his dad's into
a large mixing bowl. He had two pieces Thursday night and I haven't
seen him in it at all since. It's on the kitchen table.
Anna's mom tells me her candy is almost gone, and she thought about
taking it away from her and giving it out in portions.
The other boy gave half of his to his older brother when he got home and
his mom say's they've hardly touched it.

And that's what I know about unschooling candy.

THERE IT IS. <g>

That's some great proof!
I'm saving your post, Deb.

Have you sent it to Anna's mother? YOU SHOULD.

My mom one year let us have two per day.

We would eat it down to the last molecule no matter how vile a crummy little
tootsie-roll miniature it might be, because we waited all day for our two
crummy little pieces of candy. I don't think that was done other days.

My mom would get a box of chocolates each Christmas. She would let each of
us have one piece a day, but whatever we got we had to eat. Even if we
didn't like it.

YUCK! STUPID!!!

I'll let Holly bite off the corner of my fancy chocolates when I get them (as
I did when I was home with a broken leg and a friend send Godiva chocolates).
If she likes it she can have it. If she doesn't, I might eat it later. If
I don't like it, it goes in the trash.

Sandra, who would rather eat a little of good chocolate than a lot of bad

This is what Tamzin does as well. My bowl is always bigger than
hers and we always end up throwing a lot of it away. This year
my mom is here and helping to eat it though (she's got a serious
sweet tooth!).
She's more into lemon poppy seed muffins at the moment <g>.

More proof that unschooling candy (and life) works!
