New research has found that one in 10 children receive sugary treats every day.

A study conducted by Safefood and University College Dublin shows that a fifth of the Irish children's calorie intake is made up of foods which are high in fat, sugar and salt.

As well as this, 42% of parents say they reward their children with treats for good behaviour.

Dr Aileen McGloin, Director of Marketing and Commuications at Safefood, and Jen Hogan, author, blogger, Irish Times parenting columnist and mother of seven, joined us to discuss why this is the case and what needs to change.
