I ownder what do you think about this. Part of my evolution as a mum of an allergic child included a phase when I wanted to make DS's food to emulate the ones other children were having at nursery. Failed miserably when realised that although the things looked quite similar they tasted horrible so now DS has what he can have and is tasty rather than something that looks similar and he would hardly eat.
Now, today went to check another nursery where they offered to cook food for DS that looked similar (poor souls...) but I felt tempted to say "no, that will make him believe he can eat what other children eat and that's not true!"
So... what are your views about it?, should we try to make our food so similar they don't feel excluded or, should we make them aware of their allergies, by cooking different foods, so they eventually learn to take care of themselves?

Food allergies, cooking so they think they are having the same than other children or not?
