Hey Food Allergy Mama,
If you’ve ever wondered when to start teaching your child the skills they need to manage their food allergies independently, let me tell you—you’re on the right track by asking!
The truth is, you can’t start too soon. Kids who grow up seeing smart, safe food allergy habits in action are so much more likely to carry those habits into their teen years and beyond. That’s why what you do now lays the groundwork for their future confidence, independence, and safety.
Not only that, but they need these essential skills as they journey through school. Of course, when they’re little, they need extra support from their teachers and parents, they’re not meant to do it alone. However empowering them with good allergy habits early allows an extra level of security and confidence.
So in today’s episode, we’re talking about 3 surprising reasons to empower your food allergy child—starting right now. Stick with me because I’ll share 6 easy ways to start!
Whether they’re still in preschool or already eyeing middle school, there are simple, practical ways to help them build the skills they need to navigate life with confidence.
I'm cheering for you!
