Children and Allergies
Having an allergy may make a child feel isolated. Not being able to eat food at birthday parties, share food at recess, eat out with friends at a fast food joint or visit places that might have allergens present are some of the situations that may cause a child to feel different from his or her peers. The resources on children and allergies are designed to help them understand their condition.
Insights for Children and Allergies
- Children and teens often don't like to be different. Although there is some great information about allergies on the Web, they may not want to go to the sites, or read the material. Try printing out the information and leave it lying around where it will be found by your child. He or she may not admit to reading it, but curiosity often gets the better of them and they may have a look.
- School projects are a good way to get children interested in allergies. There's something fascinating about the human body and how it reacts to things. If you can combine a child's allergies with a science project, for example, the Web can provide a lot of valuable information, and your child is learning at the same time. More projects for teachers and parents are listed in the "Living With Allergies as a Child" section of this guide.
