I'm a teacher, staying home w/ my little man for now, but I constantly try to educate my friends & other teachers. I just don't understand why treats "junk" has to be a reward for our kiddos. I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like for my son once he starts school. I feel so bad now when I tell him he can't have something b/c it hurts his belly. Hugs to you & your daughter!

It helps. Some days it's good to be reminded that while today feels low, there are plenty of high points waiting out there.AllergyMentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03222257335773645931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477370712049499155.post-49200565620788421902014-04-02T16:54:32.908-07:002014-04-02T16:54:32.908-07:00We haven't dealt with the school situation, ye...We haven't dealt with the school situation, yet, but we've been a member of a playgroup for years and after my daughter's FA diagnosis, I have experienced some wonderfully supportive actions by my friends. I even have a friend who switched her son to Sunbutter, on the off chance that they might come over for an impromptu playdate. I've had moms set aside a special food-free goodie bag for my daughter at birthday parties, too. There are definitely caring, compassionate people in the world and we just need more of them to balance out the thoughtless ones.

The future is where the compassion is at, though that doesn't help your daughter in the here and now, know that her peers will be different. They have to be different because this is all around them.
