To think DS is too young for chewy/boiled sweets??

[Ethelfleda]

DS turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and came home from nursery with a bag of chewy and boiled sweets. They had handed them all out to the kids at pre-school. DS was so excited about opening and eating them that we had a battle - had to ‘swap’ them for chocolate buttons instead.

AIBU in thinking sweets are a choking hazard to small children and that he is too young to be given any??

I agree, and the same with mini eggs! They always make Easter cakes and put mini eggs on them at nursery- they seem much more risky than grapes imo!!!

Maybe it was a kids birthday and the kid handed them out; that happens at our preschool and they do it right at the end so adults can see and decide if they can eat it!
