Kids with Food Allergies

It seems like food allergies are becoming more common in kids, or at least more understood and therefore more frequently diagnosed.  Schools are getting stricter with snacks and packed lunches.  Some even becoming peanut-free zones and restricting homemade treats at school parties.  Today more than ever, it’s important for us as parents to understand food allergies so that we can teach our kids to be understanding and empathetic, too.  Here are some resources for learning about and teaching kids about food allergies that might help…

5 Resources for Moms & Kids Dealing with Food Allergies

  • Dr. Ask at The Food Allergy Kid Spot – Kid friendly videos of a cartoon doctor answering common questions about food allergies.
  • From Confusion to Confidence: KFA’s Starter Guide for Parenting A Child With Food Allergies – A free ebook from the Kids with Food Allergies Organization full of everything a parent needs to know when their child is newly diagnosed with food allergies.
  • FAANKids: A Food Allergy Website for Kids – This website brings information, activities, and support directly to kids in a playful and fun way.
  • Food Allergy Mama – A blog, written by food allergy advocate, cookbook author, and mama Kelly Rudnicki, full of real mom insight and great recipes.
  • Kylie’s Special Treat: A Food Allergy Fairytale – A fun children’s book about a princess with food allergies written by Letizia Barbetta, a mom of a princess with multiple food allergies.

We were so excited to be sent our very own copy of Kylie’s Special Treat.  The book was written by the mama author, Letizia, in response to her own daughter’s question about whether princesses have food allergies, too, and as a resource to help kids with food allergies feel better about themselves.  And while my kids don’t suffer from food allergies themselves, I was still so happy to read it to them to help them understand and relate to their peers that have allergies.  My 4 year old Priscilla was especially excited about the princess theme and the included cookie recipe, too.

Letizia is so kind to offer TWO copies of Kylie’s Special Treat for giveaway; one for the winner to keep and one for the winner to donate to a school or library of their choice!  How awesome is that?!  There’s lots of ways to enter here…

    It is really common. It is in fact the third most chronic disease among children.

    Effective management of allergic diseases relies on the ability to make an accurate diagnosis. Allergy testing can help confirm or rule out allergies.Correct diagnosis, counseling and avoidance advice based on valid allergy test results will help reduce the incidence of symptoms, medications and improve quality of life.^-*’

    Widen your grip to work a different part of the
    bicep. If you have any pain doing this it would be
    best to stop and trying doing the high pull exercise instead.
    I keep 8% body fat percentage cardio throughout the year using this approach.

    My twins are anaphylactic to peanuts and we are always looking for new stories to share with teachers.

    This is a valuable resource not only for parents but also for teachers who face an increasing number of children plagued by allergies. It can become a worthwhile lesson and teaching point foe many other topics.

    My son is anaphylactic to peanuts and there are 12 students in his school who also have life threatening allergies. This would be a well used resource at our school!!
