I like this one too. All three of my kids ha...Oooh! I like this one too. All three of my kids have had some combination of peanut, dairy, and egg allergies over the years. Luckily for us, we only have two peanut allergies now. I agree with you about the food bans. I felt bad asking people to forgo dairy and eggs in addition to the peanuts. I've taught my boys to be safe around food - even if the food is not safe for them. They are very good about skipping the food if we have any inkling that something is not safe, and they've been doing this ever since they were tiny. Other (non-FA) parents are always amazed that my kids can skip an ice cream or dessert without a fuss, because their kids would have a fit if the parent said no. Although school is different, and I believe that every kid should be able to participate fully in whatever they are doing, it is a fact that my kids ARE different, and HAVE to follow different rules. I'm wondering how all of the kids who have only experienced "full inclusion" at school/ballet/karate/relatives/parties/etc., are going to be able to acclimate once they are teenagers and beyond if they have never learned that they can't have EVERYTHING that is there.<br /><br />I'm glad that I found your blog today.Lori near Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822568965319444605noreply@blogger.com
