Sometimes, as the mother of a child with severe food allergies, it is a challenge to help others empathize with the issues facing my son. I completely understand, because unless it is something we have dealt with personally, it is difficult to imagine what these kids go through on a daily basis. But for kids with severe allergies, if they eat three meals a day plus two snacks...then at least five times a day, they are faced with life or death choices - and with being different...it can be overwhelming for them and terrifying for their parents.
I recently saw this article by Gina Clowes on the Allergy Moms website and thought it was great. If you have any contact with a child with food allergies, please take a quick minute to check out the link below...it is a short, easy and helpful snapshot into the heart of these kids:
