Mommy, Is This Safe to Eat?

Books for kids with food allergies

 

• Don't follow the ball into the street.
• Take small bites.
• Let's buckle up.

If your child has a food allergy, you have to teach them another set of precautions while they are very young.

• Ask Mommy first.
• Never eat off the floor.
• No sharing snacks.
• Those are peanuts.  NO TOUCHING!!

Our son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy when he was just 15 months old.  As he grew, we talked with him often about the habits he needed to stay safe.  I have written "Mommy, Is This Safe to Eat?" to pass on what we taught our son.

It was a big transition for us from a peanut-free preschool to public school Kindergarten.  Before your child goes off to elementary school , he or she needs to know basic food allergy rules.  Help educate your child and his or her classmates with "Starting School with a Food Allergy."
