Most students were going to school and living their best life last spring when BAM! – COVID-19 rocked our world. To say we were unprepared is an understatement. Kids moved to online learning, something they had never done before. And for some, it was tough.

Any food centered event can introduce challenges for families and children with food allergies. Trick or treating and Halloween celebrations, in particular, present opportunities for increased exposure to food allergens, which can be present in candy and other treats.

For a lot of children, summer means no school, warm weather and staying up late. While we want summer to be a time for our kids to relax and enjoy themselves, we also know that children strive and feel most safe when there is a sense of routine to their every day. If you can maintain structure during the summer, it will make the transition back to school easier and it reminds kids that they don’t need to forego structure in order to have fun!...

Mold is a fungus that can be found almost anywhere, both indoors and outside. There are many different types of mold. Only a few cause an allergic reaction. Mold seeds (or spores) get into the air and are then breathed in. For children at risk, this can cause allergy-like symptoms or trigger breathing problems like asthma. Mold lives in damp, dark and warm places. Mold can grow on anything from old books to dead leaves or straw....
