YES. I Need Help Now

Here's the part no one says out loud

You're scared.

  • About diabetes, weight, addiction.
  • About "what if this turns into something bigger."
  • And about accidentally seeding disordered eating.

You simply want to...

  • Stop feeling like the candy police and feel like a parent again
  • Know your kids are developing a healthy relationship with food
  • Have candy be no big deal -- it can be there without being the most exciting thing in your house
  • Stop wondering if you're making it worse

That's what this course is for.

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?
  • Is this the start of an addiction?

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.

I came in worried about the long-term effects of excessive sugar in my kids, and feeling so guilty around candy. I left with a plan to stay calm, which helped them stop being little rapid raccoons around the candy bowl.

Introducing

No More Candy Wrappers Under the Bed

Understand Why Your Kids are Sneaking and Snacking So They Can Make Great Decisions About Food When You're Not There

A 3-Session Self-Paced Course + Private Application Session with Dr. Wendy

This is about understanding what's actually driving the sneaking, so you can respond with connection instead of control. And then applying it directly to your family in a private 1:1 session with Dr. Wendy.

In this course, you will:

🔍Understand exactly why the sneaking is happening
💬Know precisely what to do and what NOT to do when you find wrappers
✨Lower obsession so that candy becomes NBD (no big dealio)
🛡End the sneaking without becoming Momzilla or instituting a family-wide candy embargo
❤Make changes without damaging the most important thing: your relationship with your child

Here's How the Course Works

No More Candy Wrappers is a 3-session self-paced course for parents, plus a private 20-minute application session with Dr. Wendy.

Watch each session on your own schedule. Pause, reflect, experiment at home, then move to the next session when you're ready. You have 90 days of portal access to watch, rewatch, and build on what you're learning.

Parents share that the magic of this course structure is bite-size training with space to experiment at home before moving on. No rushing. No falling behind. Just you, moving at your pace.

Why self-paced works

  • Watch at 10pm after bedtime or 6am before the chaos. Your schedule, your pace.
  • Pause the video to try something. Come back when you're ready for more.
  • Rewatch the parts that hit different the second time. (They will.)
  • No guilt about missing a live session. There's nothing to miss.
Session 1

The Step That Has to Happen Before You Find the Wrappers

  • Discover what the sneaking is actually telling you (it's not what you think)
  • Shut down the alarm system that turns a wrapper into a crisis
  • Know exactly what to say -- and what to stop saying -- in the moment
  • De-escalate before the fuse is lit, every time
This session gives you the foundation everything else builds on -- and most parents feel relief before it's even over.
Session 2

What's Actually Driving Your Child's Candy Fixation

  • Understand why the standard advice (balance, moderation, "just one") makes the fixation stronger
  • Get a clear picture of your child's specific relationship with candy -- and what's feeding it
  • See exactly where the dynamic breaks down in your family, and why
  • Learn the mechanism that actually shifts kids' relationships with food for good
You'll leave this session seeing your child -- and the candy -- completely differently.
Session 3

Uncover The Missing Piece That Changes Everything

  • Use the clues you've collected to connect differently with your child
  • Learn what allyship actually looks like when you find the wrappers (hint: it's not agreeing, it's being present)
  • Design your own connection experiment to try this week
  • Leave knowing exactly how to show up in the hard moments without damaging the relationship
Most parents leave this session feeling something they haven't felt in a while: like they've got this. And then they bring it to their private session with Dr. Wendy.

+ Your Private Session

20 minutes, 1:1 with Dr. Wendy

After you've watched the course, you'll receive a booking link to schedule a private 20-minute session with Dr. Wendy within 2 weeks of purchase.

This isn't a generic Q&A. This is where you bring YOUR family, YOUR clues, YOUR specific moments, and Dr. Wendy helps you apply what you've learned directly to what's happening in your home.

The moment you find wrappers and freeze. The after-school pantry raid. The conversation you want to handle differently. That's what this session is for.

No other course at this price includes private time with a physician who specializes in exactly this.

I love this course. Thank you so much. I feel so much better about everything.

If candy is taking up too much mental space...

I have three kids with very different reasons to be grabbing candy. This helped me respond to their specific needs instead of running myself crazy.

About Dr. Wendy

Dr. Wendy Schofer, MD

I'm a dual-board-certified pediatrician and lifestyle physician.

I've spent over 20 years in exam rooms with families struggling with weight conversations, food fights, and well-intended advice that simply 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, pressure or restriction.

Trauma-Informed Size-Inclusive Relationship-Centered Eating Disorder Prevention

And this course is where that work begins.

Finally break the cycle once and for all.

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.

Because parents create the environment where change grows: healing, safe relationships with food, emotions, body, family.
