- Make your child their own biggest advocate. Being open and honest with your kids about the seriousness of their food allergies is a great way for them to understand all the dangers – and to help them stay safe. Educate your child and empower them with this knowledge, no matter how young they are. As a result, they’ll become their own advocates wherever they go. Communication is the key to keeping your child safe!
- Label all their food and drink containers. When your kids go to school, camp, activities or anywhere else, make it crystal clear that they have a food allergy to teachers, instructors and caregivers. Customizable Allergy Alert Labels from Mabel’s Labels are durable, waterproof labels that specify allergies on items such as lunch bags, food and drink containers and travel gear. Just personalize with your child’s name and their allergies. So simple!
- Keep vital information close at hand. If they’re heading out on field trips or to theme parks & water parks, attach a durable Kids’ Safety Bracelet to their wrist or ankle. You can easily personalize these disposable ID bracelets with vital information, allergies and contact details to help lessen the panic of being separated in a crowd.
