The parents must count on your help to lessen the possibility of an allergic reaction, and to deal with a reaction if it occurs. You can be instrumental in helping the allergic child to feel accepted. The allergic child knows he or she is different from other children, in having to do things or eat things that are different from others. The child's self-esteem may be fragile. This will go a long way to strengthening the child's positive emotional growth at school.
Allergic responses are varied and unique to each child.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic response. It can be life-threatening. A close working relationship with the parents is essential to an informed, well-managed, and safe classroom experience. May be reproduced for educational, non-profit purposes.
