Desperate, you spot a vending 1 machine and promise the little troublemaker 2 a treat if he’ll settle down. A chocolate bar or two later, your child is now appeased 3. Calming temper tantrums with food is a common strategy. But although it may work in the short run, using food to sooth agitated 4 kids could backfire when it comes to weight gain.
