Kid Tipster

Eden in the FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network) Food Allergy News for Kids. Edens's tips for the holidays and blurb:

...allergic to milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, salmon and some legumes. "During the holiday's when I have a safe food that my mom has made for me, I like for other people to eat the things they like too. I don't want people not to eat foods just because I have allergies."

I was surprised and happy when Eden told me he wanted to be in the newsletter that he has been reading for years. He has turned down this opportunity previously but lately he seems to be more aware of how he feels about his allergies and expressing those thoughts. The FAAN Food Allergy New for Kids offers a venue for allergic children and it gives them a tangible sense that they are not alone -  A good feeling for the New Year.
