Hi All,
With school starting back up, I just want to remind you of some good resources I have posted on my website. The link is:
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.happyheartfamilies.citymax.com/SchoolIssues.html
">http://www.happyheartfamilies....com/SchoolIssues.html
</a>
If the link doesn't work, go to: www.HappyHeartFamilies.com; Tips for CF
Parents; School Issues

Here's a list of what's there:
Coping with Bullying and Teasing at School
How to Teach Schoolmates About Medical Conditions: Includes Teaching Tools and Audio
Letter to Teachers about My Child's Special Needs
A Teacher's Guide to CF
Tips for Negotiating with School Teams

If you can think of anything else I missed as in subjects you'd like to see addressed, let me know and I'll research and write about it.

I hope this helps!

Happy Back to Scool Daze! :)

Thank you. Met with the counselor about the 504 plan this morning and she indicated the letter to the teacher was a perfect guide. We'll see how things go tomorrow with the start of school. Yikes!

How To Teach Proper Nutrition and Not Confuse CF Child?

Hi. I have searched the forums for an answer, but I still don't see one. My 4 yr old has come home telling me that eating french fries is "junk" according to his gym teacher. His preschool class is about to embark on a week of learning about health issues, including good diet. I am concerned he will be confused. I have explained to him that his belly is special and french fries are ok. I see pamphlets and other sources that suggest "When teaching class about proper nutrition, be sensitive to XX who has a high-calorie, fat & sodium diet that may appear unhealthy by most nutritional standards" But I would like to provide more specific ways to address this issue to his teachers - how do they help other children avoid fatty unhealthy foods and not confuse my child?
