A lifestyle that requires management of food allergies can be tricky when it comes to having your child included in everyday activities and experiences. Even well-intentioned policies can result in exclusion and leave food allergic kids vulnerable to isolation and bullying. Seeing their peers have fun, while they are overlooked or left out as a result of their food allergies can be heartbreaking. Rather than retreating to a place of exclusion, you can take steps to promote and foster successful inclusion. By taking steps to educate your community, family, and peers, you can help foster environments that are open to working with your family. Successful inclusion is not a myth. You CAN build a support network that allows everyone to be included. You CAN be the change for a child with food allergies.
