Back to school is near. This is the perfect time to prepare if your little one has food allergies. Last year Nita provided some great tips to help you prepare for the first day of school. In addition to those, I wanted to share a great article I came across on www.FoodAllergy.org . It discusses how to best handle the education of food allergies for teachers and other school mates. The article talks about an educational awareness program called PAL: Protect a Life from the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network. The PAL program provides educational brochures, posters, and even certificates to give out to other children who have shown they are a PAL.
Communication and education is the most important aspect for a child going back to school with food allergies. Hopefully this will provide you with some ideas on how to best educate your little ones new classroom on living with food allergies. If you have any creative strategies to help prepare for a safe school year, we’d love to hear about them in the comments!
