Is it okay to let your children eat junkfood?

Well, I don't let my children eat junk food at all, though I still eat sometimes. I think it's not good for health, especially for children. I always told my son he can eat those junk food when he is 13 years old. I believe at that time, his antibody system has been well built, and eating those junk food may not be good, but will not be too harmful too.

Hiya bulastika, To a point all kiddies need energy from that kind of food but not every day of the week. With mine it was hard to try to get them to realize they needed a proper meal twice a day at least breakfast was the hardest one for me but again I kept an eye on what biscuits and things I bought as well.xxx

While you should not allow it every day, you also want to make sure that your child does not become obsessed with junk food as kids who are always forbidden this sort of thing often do. It's all about balance and teaching them about which foods are for all the time and which ones are just for special occasions or treaties.

As we all know that junk food is harmful for health. So we should restrict our children from eating it. Though i agree that its very yummy. But it should be avioded as much as possible. Because health is wealth.

I would let them eat junk food, but with measure. I would let them eat fast food on occasions, and I would introduce them to it once... because I think it's worse to forcedly keep them away from it, lying stuff like I know they wouldn't like the taste, or banning it from the house, when other kids can eat it, or my kids are invited to a McDonald's bday party, and they meet the food there for the first time... the other kids my mock them because of it, or they might get angry at me...

Im my opinion you could create a Junkfood meal plan . Like Something every other day once a week or maybe a handful of chips a day . Junk Food could be bad but then also good. And Remember they are kids their bodies handle it different from older people.

sometimes i let my kids to eat junk foods but not most of the times.

Well overall Junk Food still had something to offer for the body it's not called food for some mere reason right? Since we do care about how much the consumption it self then perhaps by giving guidance to them would be a good way to make them understand that you can eat that food with some discretion :) Although we understand that there will always be children who picky about their food. That when the problem always occurred. For that situation it's been in my opinion to offer the child with some alternative healthy food which somewhat looks like and taste like the Junk Food are.

Sure. Absolutely. Why not? I mean, don't let them eat ONLY junk food or go nuts with it. But I think it is perfectly fine, and in some ways, I think a growing body needs a lot of this stuff that we don't need as much as adults.
