Raising children is undoubtedly one of the hardest jobs in the world. Interestingly enough, it’s not a role we put on our resumes: despite the hours are 24/7 with more pressure than any paid position we could ever think of.
Have you ever thought about the additional challenges parents of children with food intolerances face & the many layers of complexity it brings to their lives?
I think it’s important for us to be empathetic to this & mindful of the anguish it can bring each & everyday.
To help show our support we speak with Tarnya Bruinier, qualified Nurse, teacher, Mother to 3 children (2 with intolerances) & Founder of Gourmet You. Tarnya shares expert tips for raising children with intolerances from her personal experiences.
We ask Tarnya questions including:
- As a parent with 2 out of your 3 children with food intolerances, what is it like living with these challenges everyday?
- Can you tell us first h& what feelings & emotions you experienced as a parent when you first discovered your child had an intolerance?
- How difficult did you find the transition to adapting to a new lifestyle?
- In your experience, what have you found to be the hardest part of parenting children with intolerances?
- Parenting can also be very rewarding, there’s no greater joy than seeing your children thrive despite their intolerances, what is the key to achieving this?
- Have you found you need to have strong communication with your children, so they also underst& the importance of the risk factors that could affect them?
- Talking about communication, have you ever found it challenging to explain the importance of the intolerances to friends & family?
- Can you let us know about some easy ways to adapt recipes for kids?
