At what age do you let your children eat hard candies (I’m talking about the kinds you have to suck on).

Hard candies make me nervous at any age.
Big choking hazard.
Stick to lollipops.

Same here. I'm still nervous when my 8 & 10 year olds eat hard candy. When I was 10, I choked in school on a hard candy, it's still in my bones.

Do you mean that it's still physically inside of your body? Or that you're still traumatized?

Thanks for the responses. When I googled it I kept seeing not before 4 or 5… and that just sounds way way too young! Was wondering what other people do and how long I can push off giving them to my kids…

Oh my, it's not still in my body bh! It went shooting out.
I wouldn't say I'm traumatized, but I can still recall the fear and panic very clearly.

My rule is 6 years old and even then they need to sit still and can't get up until they are done eating it. Once they are older I just tell them not to get wild, run, jump etc when they have a candy in their mouth.

You can push it off as long as you want. What's the rush?

I reluctantly started letting my children have them at age 5 or 6, but very rarely. We avoid buying them most of the time, that is, I have "drilled" dh not to buy them and I discourage the kids from buying them from their money. If occasionally a few slip through, so be it.
But they are a choking risk beyond that age, no doubt. They are dangerous.
Another thing is, if they bite them, they damage the teeth.

Oh good, it’s not just me! I am a very cautious mommy in general and sometimes I feel like no one else is.
