Re: How to get others on board

[Guest guest]

I had the same problem with my little girl. I had to talk to the teacher and

to the pastor and wife about a list of kids & their allergies(there are a

lot of them:( ) that needed to go up on the board in the room. Now, people

are being more apt to look on the board before offering goodies and I always

make a special yummy treat for her for only on Sundays, the PB brownies. I

made it a point that I needed to be able to trust them with my daughter also

and that we had been to other churches and left them due to them not being

compassionate to our cause. I hope this helps. Jenn & Kali 8months

I would make an appointment with the senior pastor and children's

pastor. During the meeting, I would explain to them that your

children are on a special diet. They do not need to understand the

medical aspect. They should treat your decision for your children

with respect.

Make sure that they understand that the diet has to be followed 100%

and that you will be unable to attend on Wednesday nights if your

wishes are not followed.

The staff on Wednesdays should follow the directions that you give

them, but if you have spoken with the leadership, I think that will

help as well.

It may also be necessary to place a DO NOT FEED ME sticker on their

clothing for several weeks to make sure that everyone who works with

your children on Wednesdays REMEMBERS which kids are not supposed to

be fed.

I have not made a meeting as such but have spoken, written, called

etc. with these people and they are in support of the parents

choices. Our pastors wife is head of childrens ministerys and she

even talked about it at the last meeting with workers.

I do like your sticker idea. I will have to come up with something

really cute and creative so the kids like to wear them.

We attend a huge church here and if the workers aren't familiar with my

kids, they don't know about their special snacks. BUT they write a note on

a name tag and put it on their backs that says 'NO SNACKS' upon my request,

and the check in person will then give them the snacks I provided before

service during snack time. Just one time did someone give my youngest some

candy as he was walking out the door - and it ended up not being a big deal

to get it away from him. They are really very good about nodding at parents

before handing the candy over just to be sure - I think a lot of parents

don't like their kids getting candy that late in the evening, whether they

are on a diet restriction or not.

Hope that helps!

An explanation that might help also is 'he has a behavior disorder that is

extrememly aggrivated by certain foods so it's very important that I provide

his snacks.' Don't know if that helps, but it sounds convincing!

I have explained to my family that he has a gut issue and this will hurt his

tummy if we give it to him. Let them know you have been working really hard

to heal their gut and one little thing will put you right back at the

beginning.

Best of luck. I know it is so hard!
