⟩ Explain me how can I educate my child and myself to make sure we're being extra safe around your child?
For children of any age, please reinforce two things;
☛ 1) hand washing after eating and,
☛ 2) to never share food.
These little steps can make a big difference in keeping kids with food allergies safe. Plus it is just a good, healthy habit to get into.
For your grade-school aged child, teach them the seriousness and signs of an allergic reaction (swollen lips, wheezing, hives, stomach cramps) so they can help recognize when a classmate or friend is in danger and tell an adult immediately.
