I definitely agree that educating your children about what they can't eat and what it looks like is most important. Whether they know the name of each nut though, is not as important, as knowing they can't it eat!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! <br /><br />Miss Allergic ReactorMiss Allergic Reactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263512333318987888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626929284019269088.post-5402036696833966852012-03-29T09:03:40.780-04:002012-03-29T09:03:40.780-04:00My initial thoughts, too, when I read these findin...My initial thoughts, too, when I read these findings! I think recognizing something as a nut (or fish, egg, etc.)is key, not necessarily being able to differentiate between a walnut and a pecan, a tuna or a perch. My DS is 5 and can't name all nut or egg products, but he knows the two golden rules for keeping himself safe: <br />1. Never eat anything that you don't know ALL the ingredients in. Then (bc he's 5) still check with a parent to be safe.<br />2. Know what most nuts and egg products look like, even if you can't name them.<br /><br />Of course we stop every once in a while and I let him observe and try to name the bagged nuts in the grocery aisle, but that is not, to me, key in keeping him safe.<br />Thanks for your insight!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317995114765742047noreply@blogger.com
