After a Valentine's Day party a teacher dropped her students off at my classroom and apologized saying,
"Sorry, the kids are a little sugared up."
When I hear a sentence like that, I sense confusion. I sense that many adults and kids are confused about sugar and children's behavior.
So I interrupted class to give the students a speech on:
- sugar and
- how it makes their body feel and
- what their options are if they feel wild and hyper.
Check out the speech below. Check it out especially if your kid seems to get hyper when you give him/her sugar, cookies, candy and red juice.
