Understanding Food Allergies in Kids | POF180

There are MILLIONS of kids with food allergies in the US, and in Canada, 1 in 2 households are impacted by food allergies. This is a huge topic and I’m thrilled to have one of the foremost experts, Dr. Rania Nasis, on to talk about what allergies are, and what we can do to support kids with allergies and their parents.In this episode, Rania and I talk about the basics of allergies and what qualifies as an allergy - it’s an immune response to the food that’s life threatening. We also talk about the difference between allergies and sensitivities. Food allergies are on the rise and there are actually ways you can prevent them. A 2015 study concluded that introducing food allergens earlier in a child’s life can prevent severe allergies.The reality is, that if you have a child with allergies, you face added stress, worry and work to keep them safe. As a community, we all need to be a part of the solution and normalize food allergies so our kids don’t feel excluded because of their differences. With the holidays upon us, there are lots of opportunities to do things differently so everyone feels included.If you have a child with food allergies, please visit Rania’s site www.superawesomecare.com For Rania’s inclusion guide, “How to be a Friend to a Kid with Food Allergies”, you can download it from the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.comAbout Rania NasisRania Nasis is a physician entrepreneur and a startup mentor who builds and advises companies that give agency to the voiceless in healthcare: from seniors facing social isolation to kids contending with illness, Rania received her medical degree from New Jersey Medical School, Masters of Business Administration from the Paul Merage School of Business at University of California at Irvine and Bachelor of Science degree from Drexel University.

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
