Starting kindy or school is an especially big step for any child, but it can be even more challenging if your child has a chronic medical condition like an EGID/EoE or food allergies.
Here are a few tips for the start to the school year:
The above will hopefully help to prompt you on the steps to starting the school year but it is not exhaustive.
We wish everyone a great start to the school year!
A reminder for when you order your back to school supplies that ausEE is listed as a fundraiser with Bright Star Kids.
When placing your online order simply click on LINK A FUNDRAISING ACCOUNT in the checkout and enter ‘AusEE Inc’. This supports our charity as ausEE earns a 15% commission from all sales. Please share this information with your friends and family as every dollar helps our cause!
Bright Star Kids sell more than name labels, you can also purchase lunch boxes, drink bottles, school bags, personalised gifts etc. They often have great sales on their website too!
An idea for when you order name labels is to buy the bigger ones that allow an extra line and have your child’s name on the top line/s and list their allergies/medical alert on the additional line. They do have some allergy specific icons available and you can also buy packs of Allergy Alert round labels which are great for lunch boxes, drink bottles, food containers etc.
