That's very interesting to think about, but if you do, it does make sense. I mean, you're basically promoting the bad behavior with candy just to stop the fuss. That's going to be engrained into the brain, and your unconscious is going to want it later in life. Subconsciously, you're going to remember that when you did something bad, you got something good, and you're of course going to repeat the cycle. But of course, there is those who didn't turn out that way, so is there a way to fight it and control your own actions rather than allowing your subconscious to control them?
Well, I do not agree with that candy is the reason, because honestly, when you do look at misbehavior, it is because they were raised. I understand Brandi's point of view. I just think when you are growing up, you learn what is right and wrong, what you should and should not do. When you are over the age of six, if that, you should know that you do not get rewarded for misbehavior. Now, the parents also should not be bribing their children of the age of seven. So i think it is the parents fault.
I don't think that behavior would have anything to do with eating candy too much. I think it is the parents teaching their children bad behavior. By giving them candy or rewarding them when they have done something wrong, is just promoting them to do something bad again. The parents should tell them they are doing something bad and give them a time out, or something along those lines, so they learn from what they did their mistakes.They do not need to be bribed to do the right thing. -Brooke Mitchell White8
the study they show makes perfect sense. but then that also follows down the line of parenting skills and that if a parent will let there child be momentarily under control due to sweets, then they should already expect that in the future the child could possibly have behavior problems.
I think that parents who give their children candy in place of disciplinary actions would cause the child to be problematic in adulthood, simply because they had no disciplinary actions to tell them right and wrong. I think that the results shown in the article make sense.
i think that study is very interseting. i wouldve never thought candy or a healthy diet would have anything to do with the way we behave. also if the parents didnt discipline them and only gave them candy, thats obviously not going to teach them whats right and whats wrong.
I think that this study makes since. The kids are getting rewarded for nonthing and when they get older they think that they can get something for nothing.
I think that it's the parents fault in most cases for the kids to act that way. If they just give in when their child's having a tantrum and try to get them to stop by giving them candy, they're not teaching the kids to control themselves. That just relates to them when they're older, they might start not realizing when they throw a fit when they're older.
This is why my kids are only going to be allowed to eat things I cook, or make on my own. Then again, I also think it's on the parents. By giving them candy when they cry,whine, or go into a tantrum, I think that all they are doing is telling them,"Hey, if you cry more, you might get more. Good job!" My mother does something similar with one of our dogs, who whines a lot. Instead of picking her up and cuddling her, or calming her with other things, she tells me to give her a peice of turkey.
I kind of agree to what the article said, but i also disagree. Like many students that commented before me, parents are at fault too. Some parents just don't have the time to deal with their kids so they feed them candy to distract them, which shows children that they can act that way to get what they want. If parents do not take the time to discipline their children, they will not think they are wrong for acting that way towards their parents. But the article also provides good reasons how candies given to children with tantrums can lead to crimes in the future.
As i read the article, it seems to be the parents fauly. Instead of teaching their children how to behave properly, they give them candy instead, to stop them from throwing a tantrum. As that child continues to have tantrums,they would expect to be given something, which may lead to crimes. Kayla Brown(W5)
when i read the article i didn't believe that is was just the candy at fault it was also the parents rewarding their kids for their actions instead of disciplining them. When a child has bad behavior it needs to be taken care of right when it starts instead of being rewarded and leading them to criminal acts. Tawny Boyd (W8)
The easiest and most affective way seems to be give the kid candy and make him happy however doing this just makes the kid believe he can cry and get whatever he wants. The correct thing to do is discipline the child and make sure they understand what they did wrong so it does not happen again. The outcome of this leading to crimes is a bit farfetched however a parent with bad parenting skills will probably have a kid that grows older and commits crime because of the lack of foundation in the childhood.
In my opinion, i think the results to this research is so wrong. Candy doesn't determine whether someone is going to grow up committing bad behaviors. I say its determined by how the parenting style is. Or probably not even necessarily that. It could be just how the child is. Everyone is different, and it could be for other reasons than the way the child is disciplined. Take me for example =), even though im not grown yet, I've had plenty candy when i was younger and im not committing any felonies or any type of bad behaviors.
I believe that the results of this research is true, reason being is if the parents are always giving their children candy to make them stop crying or for any purpose then in their adulthood they will think they can get what they want in and the real world isnt like that, and their result could land them in jail.
It makes sense that people would see the link between spoiling children with candy when they are young, and crime when they are older. At first, I saw it farfetched, but when you think about it I can understand how it works. When children are excessively spoiled when they are young, it will carry over to when they are over. When they don't get what they want when older, instead of going into a temper tantrum, it is possible that it could be replaced with a criminal action.
I feel like this argument could go two ways. I can see where they are coming from by saying candy can result in having no patience and being used to getting what you want. I disagree with giving a child candy when they do someting wrong, because they will think everytime they do something wrong there will be a good outcome which is usually not the case in life. On the other hand I do not see how candy can harm a life so much. I would not say that it is the entire reason for crimes. I believe the way you act can be contolled, and not determined by the amount of candy you ate. Candy may have some affect on behaviors, but I do not believe that is has a great impact.
I don't agree with this article because candy does not effect someone's actions they choose whether or not to do something. The parents try and take the easy way out to keep the child happy...but the child will suffer in the long run. When they become adults they will not know how to respond when they don't get what they want because they were spoiled all their lives. This can then cause them to become aggressive or break the laws. Aija Crawford- Green2
I do not agree with this argument. I believe children that get spoiled may be involved in crime when they are an adult, but I do not think it is reasonable to argue that giving candy to a child almost every day is the reason that they are more likely to do a crime. Spoiling a child and giving them what they want may be one reason why people are more likely to do a crime, but you can't say that someone did a crime because they were given a lot of candy when they were a child. I believe it's just a coincidence that some adults who are criminals ate a lot of candy when they were young.
I think that this is just an excuse that people are trying to use, maybe because they have committed a crime and wanted to put it off on some type of reason. "Oh I got candy everytime I didn't get what I wanted, so that's why I did what I did". Does that make any sense at all,mhmm no. People committ crimes they usually plan it out from the jump. Another thing is how parents are parenting their children. There are parents at this very moment whose child has NEVER been disciplined. And if this is the case what do you expect from that child once they are older? Something to think about, people have thoughts, thoughts are turned into actions.
I do not copletely agree with that article. I do think that when a young child throws a temper tantrum and his/her parents give them what they want, without words the parent is saying that that child can have whatever he/she wants. When that child is older, but still believes he/she can have anything and he/she wants a plasma screen T.V, who's to say they can't have it, their parents didn't.
I dont exactly agree with the article because candy does not effect your actions, especially over a certain time period. I think the reason the researched seemed to support the fact that candy effects a persons behavior was because of the parents. Most of those parents who gave their children candy were probably tired of their children crying or being a disruption so they thought they would solve the problem by treating them. I think the way people behave when they are adults depends on how they were raised.
Well, I think that what kind of candy you eat, what diet you have, how many sodas you drink does not effect your attitude of personality when you get older. Although the scientists sounded like they had the evidence, most likely no food can control you, and/ or make you a bad person. It's the role of the parents. Up to about 11 - 12 years old, I think, parents can control every little thing their child does, and the way they parent reacts on their child, puts their child down a certain path for behavior.
I don't think that you're diet contributes to what kind of actions you do. Yeah, i do think that i effects your attitude. It can make you cranky or such but i think that your criminal record and things of that such it's based on you. If it gets to the point where it's a young kid committing crime, then they should put the blame on the parents, not candy.
I think this article was very interesting, but not completely correct. I do think it is wrong for parents to give a kid cany just to get them to hush and behave. I do not think that candy can lead to a kid becoming a criminal. Either way a parent should know better than to give a kid a piece of candy every day of there life. I think that giving a kid cany instead of actually disciplining them is what is leading up to the high crime rates in relation to candy. Parents need to learn to discpline there kids and lessen the candu intake and this problem will be better.
Well, this article surprised me! I had never thought that giving kids candy would cause them to become criminals. I believe that the way a child is raised does effect how they will be as and adult. Children need to have discipline in their life and punishments. If a parent just hands their kid a piece of candy so they will hush, then they are hurting themselves and their child. They could even possibly make kids worse. A child could purposely be loud and crazy just because they know their mom or dad will give them a piece of candy to be quiet. I don't believe that it is so serious that it will lead to that child living the life of a criminal. Many different things could cause someone to turn bad and start living like a criminal. ~Jessica Nolte white 8
I think its not always the parents fault that the kids have problems. The parents may have fed them candy and may have given them candy as a kid, but it can not change a person that much. As a result i think people choose to misbehave not to blame it on candy.
IM SO MAD I'VE TRIED DOING THIS SO MANY TIMES. I disagree with the article. It's far fetched, with little evidence to support its theory. If we are going to convict candy of criminal side affects, then we should also blame our childhood blankets, raddles and cribs for that rediculous matter.
