The recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) suggest that up to 10% of the daily energy intake should come from additional sources of sugar, including sweets. In practice, this means that a child should eat no more than one to two servings of sweets a day.
To set healthy limits on sweets, it is important to consider your child's diet as a whole and ensure that their daily food includes adequate amounts of protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals. You should also avoid giving your child sweets between meals, as this may lead to a loss of appetite for more nutritious foods.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to support your child in making healthy choices and develop positive eating habits.

There is no such quantity. If we want the child not to look for sweets, it is best that he does not know the taste of sweets. Of course, there are some children who don't like sweets even though they know them, but in general sweets are addictive, so it's best to give fruit instead, especially to small children.

According to the recommendations of nutritionists, a child can eat up to 20 g of sucrose per day. This corresponds to four bars of chocolate, 4-5 fruit candies or 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. This dose is completely safe for the child's health. This means that there is no need to completely eliminate sweets from the diet. The issue is moderation and the right selection of products.

as for me, the scientific approach is not the right thing here, it's best if you teach them what sweets do, namely the pros and cons, it's best if you tell them how to behave if they want sweets I recommend you give them a whole pack of wannaetos for a day and max 1 /4 chocolates

In the light of the latest (2015) recommendations of the World Health Organization, free sugars should not provide more than 5% of daily energy from the diet . With the energy requirement of a child at the age of 12 (at the level of 2000 kcal), it is 25 g, i.e. about 5 teaspoons.

Zero. When I was a child, I wasn't looking for sweets, because I wasn't in the habit of eating them, because my mother didn't buy them and that's it. easy? easy. I mean, there were a few candies, maybe always in the cupboard, but I wasn't in the habit of it. Mom wouldn't let me. Dinner first, she said, and that was it. In addition, the second factor from sweets hurt my teeth, so I had to rinse very well afterwards. If someone has healthy teeth, they won't feel it and they won't rinse it well, and they'll find out in 15 years' time that it was necessary when the holes were made. Sweets were only functional for me, that they allowed me to eat quickly and that's it. Mom served apples and oranges instead. So for sweets, it's best to eat chocolate 75-85%. Or wafers, but only in case of sudden hunger and that's it. The rest is a crime. And rinse well and even brush lightly with the paste after such pleasures.

It depends. Every child is different and you can't measure them all with one measure. In my opinion, the less the better. If a child likes sweets very much, it is worth replacing store-bought products with more ecological ones with naturally occurring sugars or baking cookies yourself (then we have a greater influence on the ingredients). It should be remembered that what we eat affects the functioning of our body.

There is no standard equivalent to the question about the daily limit of sweets for children. Healthy eating for children should be helpful on a balanced diet that includes the amount of protein, protein, vitamins and protein. Sweets should be included and do not use a source of energy for the child.
Children are recommended to eat sweets and products that consume a lot of sugar. It is recommended that children only eat sweets during an introductory and special event, including birthdays or holidays.
When it comes to setting a healthy limit on sweets, it is recommended that your child receive no more than one serving (e.g. one candy or one chocolate) per day. Parents should also work with children in choosing a standard chain, including fruits and vegetables.
Remember that every child is different and their nutritional needs vary based on age, height and physical activity. It is always best to be with you or a dietitian for individual advice.

Theoretically, children should receive about 5% of their daily caloric needs for sweets, which is about 25-30 grams of sweets per day. it is important to account for the total amount of sugar from other sources.
There is no clear answer as to what daily limit for sweets children should have.
In my opinion, the best way to prevent children from looking for sweets is to reward them for the whole day with sweets that they will get in the evening at the right time. They then know that they will get sweets and they will be a reward for the whole day. They are then motivated because they know that a reward awaits them. You know if a child is naughty, does something wrong, etc. There won't be any sweets.
So that it does not look for them, you can also not hide them, or not raise this topic at all. Eventually they get tired of searching. Besides, you can also tell them where the sweets are. When they know where they are, their desire for sweets will decrease over time, there will be no forbidden fruit effect.

There is no such thing as a daily limit of sweets, neither for adults nor for children, there are only some statistics based on which someone or some organization draws conclusions. In fact, each organism is different and each organism has its limits, which result from thousands of conditions, tendencies and genetics. If children are not obese, do not feel bad after a sweet, and they have a lot of exercise, in the sense of doing some sport, then setting limits does not make sense, because their body burns this sugar.

I would not think about the daily amount of sweets for children, but rather limit them to some day of the week. For example, a child can eat some sweets on a selected day of the week.
Eating them every day, even in small amounts, forms a bad habit. Gradually, the child will become addicted to these sweets and want to eat more and more of them.

A child's diet should contain about 24 grams of sugar per day. However, it is known that in reality there is much more to it

As an AI, I can't recommend caloric or quantitative limits, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should keep sweets and sugary snacks to a minimum. It is recommended that sugar intake should not exceed 25 grams, or about six teaspoons, per day for children between the ages of 2 and 18. However, it is better to replace sweetened drinks and sweets with nutritious meals and snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and dairy products.

Children can eat a lot of sweets at their age. It's best not to hide, eventually he won't want to eat because after a long time there will be side effects. I estimate that 10 biscuits a day would be a good amount. However, I would prefer to give my child Dry Biscuits, because they are not incredibly sweet and they clog

With us personally, once a day they can choose something sweet within the normal limits. Small candy bar Or cheese . But all the sweets are hidden out of sight and out of reach. Then they don't rummage through the cabinets because they know that there is nothing :)

To be honest it's plain and simple depends on the parent, I have to say I have not had any limitations from growing up. But logical you can not give a pack of sweets to a child that alone will make a child sick.

Different children react differently to sweets. You need to know your child and be guided by his good. The scientific calculations are for the "average child". No child is average.
