It’s Children’s Mental Health Week!

This year, Children’s Mental Health Week is focusing on Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. 

We thought it was the perfect time to talk to Jessica’s teacher about her worries at school regarding her milk allergy. It was a really useful chat. Jessica wants other children to know what it is like for her living with a milk allergy and what makes her feel anxious at school. She feels her friends will then understand why she doesn’t want to share food or want friends to sit too close to her when they are eating a yoghurt or cheese sandwich etc.

Her teacher thinks it would be the perfect time to talk to the class and educate about allergies. We totally agree! The more allergy awareness is schools the better!
