i have 3 kids and i never hide junk food away from the kids but they are well discipline where they will not take it when they din got the consent from their father.
i learned a (may b wrong) theory from my sis, who is mother of 4 kids, if u dun let the kids tasted the junk food, by the time they try it they will easily got sick cos of the junk food. because her youngest have the said problem when she started to let him taste cookies (home-made by herself) around age 2 and he fell sick with fever and soar throat.
and my the other sis, never gave her sons ice cream, and around their age 4 - 5, let them have ice cream and cos asthma....
i dun mean to give them all and everyday, i just gave them a few pieces of chips or candies each time. somehow junk food is unavoidable especially after they go kindergarten joining friends and school mate , they will then start demand for it, by thinking of how long i could protect them thus i rather let them growth with it.
