72| Can Your Food Allergy Child Self Carry Epinephrine This School Year?

from Food Allergy Made Easy | Food Allergy Education Using Research & Experience, Living With Food Allergies, Food Allergy Awareness & Safety · host Corinna at Friendly Pantry Consulting Inc.- Food Allergy Support, Food Allergy Information, Food Allergy Safety

Hey Food Allergy Mom, One question I hear from food allergy parents is: “Is my child ready to self-carry epinephrine at school?” Sometimes we think they’re ready, but the school or maybe their doctor isn’t convinced. We all know that having that epinephrine available right away is important, which makes self-carrying an important option. So, how do you know they’re ready, and what can you do to show the school they are? In today’s episode, we’re walking through what self-carry means, and I’ll share some real-life tests you can do to help everyone feel confident that you’re child is ready. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid plan for figuring out if your child is ready to self-carry this school year—whether it’s your child’s first time or just a new grade with new expectations. I'm cheering for you! Corinna Food Allergy Mentor and Travel Advisor NEXT STEPS Subscribe to this podcast, and give it a review.
