My son also has this horrible peanut allergy! He is now 11 and it does get easier with age! You just have to make sure his school knows his classroom has to be peanut free he also has to have epi pen at school and make sure he is never to take snacks from anyone. I supply my sons snacks even though the classroom is peanut free that way hes always safe. In the lunchroom he has to have a safe place to sit and make sure the school knows no one around him has peanut products. I have taught my son to read labels and not to let other people feed him ! Its hard but trust me it does get better the older he is. Good luck!

Thanks Loli - the school is all set; we have a 504Plan and my son carries his meds on him. They don't offer peanut free classroom though they encourage parents to not bring in peanut products, yet they do 🙁 It's just hard having to rely on them to provide his meds immediately if he needs them. Also the labeling laws are so unreliable because although the allergens have to be stated, they leave the other notices like "made on the same equipment, made in a factory that processes peanuts, etc" voluntary for the company to disclose making labels really not that helpful. If I really need to know, I have to call the company and that is such an inconvenience. Label laws need to be changed to include it all. Thanks for helping me feel like it will get better as he ages.
