Food Allergies Can Cause Emotional Pain, How You Can Help

My daughter does a great job taking her own treats with her and dealing with it, but sometimes it gets to her. Food allergies can make anyone feel excluded and sad sometimes, especially in school.

Being prepared with a safe treat box has helped my daughter, as has preparing for not being able to take part in every snack or treat at school, family parties, play-dates, sleepovers, and social gatherings.

For ideas on how to include all of the children during class celebrations, check out my food free treats and craft ideas on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/ThriveWAllergy/non-food-birthdayholiday-treats-for-school/

Also take a look at the books, and information for Elementary teachers that I have collected here:

Being prepared goes a long way!
