3-PART LIVE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS WHO WANT CANDY TO STOP RUNNING THE SHOW - $99 USD
NO MORE CANDY WRAPPERS UNDER THE BED!
Your 1-Week Plan to Stop the Sneaking &
End the Sugar Battles
YES. I need help now.
YOU’VE FOUND THEM. AGAIN.
Candy wrappers under the bed, in the cushions of the couch, shoved into backpack pockets.
And suddenly you're on high alert:
Is this the start of something bigger?
Why are they hiding it?
Why can’t they just ask?
Am I restricting too much?
Should I just let them eat more?
Where did I go wrong?
After all, you've already tried: limiting candy, not bringing it home, monitoring it, explaining balance, loosening up, tightening down.
And nothing actually changed.
If anything, the sneaking got... sneakier.
Your kids, they are smart. Very smart about candy (sneaking, negotiating and becoming candy-seeking pros). It is maddening.
And you are exhausted from thinking about it.
Planning around it. Anticipating it. Argh - and reacting to it.
Here's the part that no one says out loud:
You're scared.
About diabetes, weight, the scale.
About "what if this turns into something bigger."
And about accidentally seeding disordered eating.
You're not looking for perfect eating.
You simply want an end to the hiding, the lying, the 9pm snack negotiations. Oh, and to stop feeling like the candy police.
You want to know that your kids are developing a healthy relationship with food.
You want candy to be… well, no big deal. It can be there and not be the most exciting thing in your house.
You want to stop wondering if you’re making it worse.
That’s what this workshop is for.
"But my kid is obsessed. They love food."
I hear that every week.
And first, you need to know that nothing has gone wrong.
Kids can get intense about things. Especially when something feels really, really good (hello, candy!)
When candy becomes the focal point in your house, it’s usually not about how much they love food. It’s about the charge that has built up around it: the excitement, the restriction, the anticipation, and the reaction.
The louder the charge, the louder the behavior.
And we can shift the pattern of charge and behavior.
Especially when we protect the relationship while we change the pattern.
Parents need help now more than ever - and this is exactly why I'm hosting a live workshop for parents to create help without harm
Introducing
CANDY WRAPPERS UNDER THE BED
Your 1-Week Plan to Stop the Sneaking & End the Sugar Battles
A 3-Part Live Parent Workshop
This is not a sugar detox. This is not nutrition school. This is not about eliminating treats.
This is about stopping the sneaking and ending the sugar battles without creating food shame.
In three live sessions, you will:
• Understand why the sneaking is happening
• Know exactly what to say when you find wrappers
• Reduce the emotional intensity around sugar
• Build a realistic plan that lowers obsession
• Shift the behavior without cracking down
The Specifics We'll Cover:
SESSION 1
When You Find the Wrappers
You will learn:
- Why sneaking does not mean “something is wrong”
- What is actually fueling the behavior
- Exactly what to do in the moment
- How to stop escalating the dynamic without meaning to
You will feel:
Less reactive.
Less panicked.
Calmer.
SESSION 2
Decrease Candy's Power
You will understand:
- Why restriction can increase obsession
- Why “just have one” doesn’t work
- How lower intensity without losing leadership
- What keeps the urgency alive
You will walk away with:
A clear map of your family’s sugar dynamic
A plan to reduce intensity
Language that lowers defensiveness
SESSION 3
How to Shift the Behavior for Real
You will build:
A realistic 30-day plan
Clear, calm structure

ABOUT DR. WENDY
I’m a dual-board-certified pediatrician and lifestyle physician.
I’ve spent over 20 years in exam rooms watching families struggle with weight conversations, food fights, and well-intended advice that created more harm than good at home.
Family in Focus® was built to change that.
This is help without harm.
We focus on relationships — with food, body, and each other — so that habits can shift without shame.
In case you're wondering...
“What if I’m not a beginner?”
You don’t need to be.
“What if I need more hands-on support?”
That’s what my full Family in Focus® program is for.
This workshop will NOT include:
• Personalized meal plans
• Calorie counting
• Food tracking
• Individual medical diagnosis
• Unlimited 1:1 access

Finally break the cycle once and for all.
I’m Dr Wendy Schofer, MD. Pediatrician. Trauma-informed. Relationship-focused. Eating disorder prevention specialist.
And I don’t wait til we have to fix kids.
I help parents. Now.
I help you move forward without all the stress, anxiety and worry about repeating cycles of shame and control with food and body.
You've learned how controlling food or forcing "good habits" didn't heal the problem. In fact, it often makes it worse: shame, guilt, sneaking, fear, isolation and food fights.
And the cycle keeps repeating: the cycle of shame that we grew up with.
I help parents heal their own relationship with food and body so they can raise kids who never have to recover from their childhood.
Because parents create the environment where change grows: healing, safe relationships with food, emotions, body, family.
YES! I want help now.
