Food Allergy Awareness for Back to School
|
|
Jaime Thompson is a Social Butterflies reader
and mom of a preschooler with peanut and tree
nut allergies. Here is what she would like to share
with you and your family about your friends with
food allergies. Thank you, Jaime.
Back to school is an exciting and anxious time for
students and parents alike. Add a food allergy to the
mix and many parents will spend time worrying if their
child literally will survive the school day. It is estimated
that 12 million Americans have food allergies, including
6-8% of the school aged population. Odds are your child
will grow up with friends, neighbors, and classmates that
have food allergies. One of the difficult challenges these
people face, is that no preventative treatment currently
exists. So people who have food allergies need to be vigilant
about the foods they are near or ingest. Here are some
helpful tips to start the school year off right and help keep
food allergic kids (and friends) safe:
- Try using Sunbutter as a peanut butter alternative
for school lunches.
- Teach your children not to share food with their friends
and not to ask for a taste of their friends' foods.
