Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2371319/fa...) Every family approaches food allergy treatment differently, and that's exactly as it should be. In this episode, psychologist and food allergy mom I sit down with Ina Chung, creator of @TheAsianAllergyMom to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of treatment decisions: giving yourself permission to choose the path that aligns with your family's goals, values, and season of life. Together we discuss: •  Why more treatment options can sometimes create more pressure  •  Raising confident, thoughtful children with food allergies  •  Helping kids become part of the decision-making process  •  The importance of knowing your family's goals before choosing a treatment  •  Why "not right now" can be a thoughtful decision  •  Building confidence instead of comparison  You can follow Ina on Instagram @theasianallergymom The Asian Allergy Mom (https://www.theasianallergymom.com/) My new book, From Fear to Freedom: A Workbook for Navigating Allergy Immunotherapy is available here: https://a.co/d/051hmpku Congressional School - Explorers Wanted (https://www.congressionalschool.org/) An co-ed independent school in Falls Church, Virginia Special thanks to Kyle Dine for permission to use his song The Doghouse for the podcast theme! www.kyledine.com Find Dr. Whitehouse: -thefoodallergypsychologist.com -Instagram: @thefoodallergypsychologist -Facebook: Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologist -[email protected]
