If your child lives with a food or latex allergy, there are some things you will need to discuss with them before they experience their first kiss or enter a serious relationship.
Information and advice for a parent or carer of a young adult living with allergy.
The biggest leap for many, when starting university, is moving out of home. For the first time, they will be cleaning, shopping and surviving alone (or with a bunch of newfound friends). Not only will they be expected to live independently with their allergies, they will also be expected to manage their education and time themselves.
All of this responsibility may cause some stress. Which isn’t great if you live with allergies already. So here are some tips for you to give to support your young person and help them enjoy the experience.
They may also take full advantage of the unfettered freedom that comes from moving out of home. It may be worthwhile revisting conversations around relationships, alcohol, and drug use. Resources to support these conversations can be found below.
