Are you ready to go back to school?
We need our children in school so they can continue to grow and develop as lifelong learners.
It’s time to get back on track and get back to learning to help build an incredible future for our children.
It has been overwhelming to navigate our children’s education at home – on any level – from pre-school to college! (And I was a teacher and school administrator – still overwhelming!)
Navigating schools
for gluten-free children
Being gluten-free can make school a difficult place to be. This doesn’t have to happen!
You can navigate and create a safe community for your gluten-free child at school.
Each level of education will help with any struggles you may face for your gluten-free child to be in school. Check out the following blog posts to best help you survive and thrive in school and beyond:

Tips to further improve
your child’s school year
Have extra (healthy) snacks on hand
Be intentional about your snacks.
Choose snacks that offer health instead of filling up on sugar. Healthy snacks will help your child think and be productive.
Sugary snacks may increase your child’s energy, but soon that energy will crash with ups and downs in temperament and attitude (and later may affect their sleep).
Sugary snacks lead to desiring more sugary snacks. Keeping healthier options at home will help children choose healthier options.

Choose drinks wisely
Loading up on soda and other fruit juices can impact time to focus on work and keeping still in class. Teach your children to choose water to keep hydrated all day.
Don’t like plain water? Add fruit, veggies, or herbs to flavor the water. Try adding cucumber and mint, or make a peach tea together = refreshing!
Try a smoothie where you can add nourishing fruits and veggies.
Tie in learning at home
Create fun healthy snacks and drinks together. Get in the kitchen.
Use measuring, counting, and numbers – pull out the math while you cook or bake together.
Write out your recipes – using reading and writing skills.
Create your own recipes – imagination
In any cooking situation, we can make learning fun.
Do your BEST –
that’s all we can do
Whatever situation you are in for school this year- we’ve got your gluten-free back!
