From my personal experience of my 3 and 5 year old boys, the answer to that question is that – no I don't think that children raised on a low sugar diet are better behaved than those raised on a high sugar one. I think some kids are naturally mild mannered regardless of what you feed them and the parenting techniques that you use and some are not (from my personal experience).

That said, I think that eating sugar may well exacerbate poor behaviour and it can only be a good idea to keep them off the sugar… Although in the real world that is easier said than done… I'm sure parenting techniques also help, but you wait until you have your own. It is so hard to explain to someone what being a parent is like, it is something you really have to experience for yourself 🙂

I know it's subjective anyway, and clearly not eating sugar is not the only thing that will make well behaved children (good parenting is obviously at the top of the list) but I think a lot of behavioural issues with kids nowadays are due to the poor little mites being dosed up on sugar all day, being hyperactive one minute then throwing a strop the next when the inevitable sugar crash happens. I don't have any kids at the moment though so don't really have much to go on, what are your thoughts on this?
