Extensive research has been unable to support claims that certain foods are responsible for children's active behavior. Thus, on an ordinary day a child who normally is denied sweets will be excited about having a rare treat. This behavior is understandable and should be expected. Children don't necessarily grow out of being highly active. Behavior can become more manageable as they mature and learn to channel their energy differently.
Children tend to become excited on occasions such as birthdays and holidays.
Behavior is believed to result from the excitement of the occasion, not the foods served. Rather, acknowledge your child's feelings of disappointment. Offer an alternate activity, and focus on doing that in the future. Try to avoid making promises. Keep children occupied when confined.
