[header] How to help kids with allergies avoid isolation at school [title] Request allergy-free tables. [step] Some schools require children with allergies to eat by themselves to possibly prevent them from eating any of their classmate's food and having a reaction. Doing so often causes isolation and sometimes ostracism. 
You may be able to stop that from happening by requesting the school designate allergy-free tables for children with allergies. [substeps] Talk to the principal about this request.
