[quote=Anonymous]My son has a severe peanut allergy, and I remember that age so vividly because of something our allergist told us: "Remember, this is not everyone else's allergy, it's yours. The sooner you get in that mindset, the smoother it will be". She was so right. Your child needs to get in that habit NOW of never eating food unless he knows where every part of it came from. When in doubt, don't eat it. And no, it doesn't matter if he misses out on the treats at this age. He should get used to that feeling. He shouldn't assume everywhere he goes he will be fed, but instead prepare beforehand either bringing snacks or doing without. Again, this is the time he needs to learn this habit because it will only get harder as he ages up. Sorry he is going through this, but better to learn it now and get in good habits. [/quote]
