Hmm while it is extreme, from the mothers point of view giving her children sweets helps kep a good relationship as sweets makes the children happy. Wrong way to do it of course but bare it in mind.
Have you tried maybe suggesting to the mum to cut down on the sweets? If she is asking you to do these things then explain that the sweets are having a negative impact on the work you are doing and you would like a trail period of less sweets to see if it improves. If you could discuss it with her and let her have an input then she may well listen because she will think that it has been her idea?
I would let the caseworker know, or have the children bring all sweets home unopened and use them for good behaviour, this way you are able to monitor what they are eating and how much of it.
