WITH HALLOWEEN JUST a few days away, the annual dilemma of how to handle the trick-or-treat loot bag is looming. Do you let your child go wild with seasonal sweets, crisps and cakes, or do you ration it out, bit by bit?

This video is part of TheJournal.ie Parents Panel - you can read the full set of answers here.
