I cannot say enough about these segments. My now 11 year old son has life threatening food allergies. It is so hard for him to deal with. He has been bullied (had his life threatened at school) and always feels like "that kid" Parents have admitted to not inviting him to things because they are afraid. It is so hard. I think what Dr. Steve is doing is wonderful in bringing this out. Sadly a lot of people don't get. My son's principal did not "get it". His district is just starting to get it. Many family members "don't get it" It is nice to see Dr Steve GETS IT!
