It is that time of year again and most parents have school night bedtimes, bus schedules, supplies and teachers on their mind.
However some parents just worry about their kids food allergies. There are ways to help you and your child to worry less.
You need to help them learn how to handle situations in the classroom and lunch room. Just a few tips of what you can do
to help them.
If they are in preschool or elementary they are still too young to fully understand, however get them involved as one day
they will be moving on to middle and high school. They need to help themselves and be their own advocate. You need to
teach them to be self sufficient when they are on their own.
Some tips ahead
.
Be informed- Let the school know of your child's allergy before school starts. Make sure that the teacher knows, and
its on file.
Lunch- Well any child with food allergies, especially Celiac will have to bring lunch to school. Long gone are the days
of hot school lunches and ease for parents. Get your child involved, be creative, and get a nice lunch box.
