As parents, one of our foremost jobs is giving our children "Roots" and "Wings."  This presentation focuses on the unique challenges that food allergic parents face as they move from having complete control over their food allergic child's life through the process of "letting go" as their food allergic child grows and matures.  The presentation also includes tips and techniques on ways to navigate this journey so that both parent and child feel safe and supported.
