Parenting the Love & Logic way is neither permissive nor punitive. Learn

*From The Nurse:*
After much study, the updated US Nutritional Guidelines have been
released. In addition to encouraging more vegetables, fruits, and whole
grains it states that Americans need to greatly reduce the amount of sugar
