Severe Food Allergies Exist!!!
An allergic reaction to food can develop at any age! While most symptoms are mild and limited to skin or digestive discomfort, some may progress to a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This can lead to constricted airways in the lungs.
If this happens to someone you know or love, are you prepared?
"My Nutty Summer" is a great educational tool for all children and adults, as it highlights the importance of avoiding allergens, identifying signs of an allergic reaction, and reasons for protecting someone with food allergies.
This series explores the fears and assumptions through a child's eyes. Nia fears returning to school after her summer break when she finds out she has food allergies and must stay away from certain foods. She questions if this will hinder her from having friends and even teachers.
Read more to see if Nia's first day of school will be as "nutty" as her summer break!
You will also find a comprehension page to discuss what you learned. While the glossary may be too advanced for little readers, the activity page is sure to spark their interest!
