Toddlers are just werebears. The crash might be real, but there has been research into the "rush" part and its been shown that kids really don't get a rush. It's probably just confirmation bias on the part of adults. https://www.yalescientific.org/2010/09/mythbusters-does-suga...

Not saying we should feed our kids endless sugar, however.

I saw this with other parents when my son was small. So. Much. Confirmation. Bias.

I absolutely can feel effects from large changed in sugar intake, but the tiny things parents thought were evidence of a sugar rush were ridiculous.

Its not clear to me that the study disproves that kids do not get a rush from sugar:

"Dr. Tamborlane, also from Yale, reported that children given sugar had higher levels of adrenaline."

I'm not an expert in human biology but doesn't adrenaline increase activity?
