Protecting Your Child With Food Allergies Part 2

5. Make a sign. Another situation you have to worry about is other adults handing your child food.  When Meredith was a toddler, I used to keep stickers in her backpack that read, "I have food allergies.  Please ask my parents before you give me food!"   If we were going to a party or attending Sunday school, I would put one of those stickers on the front and back of her shirt.  Just buy stickers at a local office supply store, and print them on your home computer.  This simple solution costs only pennies to implement, but it's priceless when it comes to the peace of mind it buys you where your child's safety is concerned.
