The first step to preventing the shock is knowing what allergens can cause it. Take your child to an allergist and determine which allergy test is best for her. After reviewing the results try to avoid the allergen till she can tolerate it. Then educate everyone who comes in contact with your child about her allergies. Provide a list of allergens to avoid to the daycare facility along with an allergy emergency kit in case a reaction occurs. If your child is very sensitive and has a long list of allergens that she cannot tolerate, it’s best that you provide her own lunch and snacks vs. running the risk of her consuming the allergen at school. Prior to preparing her lunch read all the labels and try to avoid spices and seasonings.
