ANST - Found at Warlord

[marsha.greene at mpan.com]

OK... since you had to get into it...before I offer something to a child at
an SCA event, I always ask them to get their parents permission... they run
away, I watch them ask their parents, and they often come back with
approval..., or they drag their parents back with them.  I am very aware of
allergy problems (5 nephews), and do not espouse giving 'candy' to kids
without checking first with parents.

My point was to thank the children in a constructive way that would make
them feel good about doing the job as waterbearer..or whatever, so they
will be happy to be a part of this society, and feel like they would want
to do service again.

an excellent sentiment, but all should remember that you might
unintentionally
be offering something to a child who might not physically able to
assimilate it
safely because of a dietary restrictions, allergies, medications, etc (in
this
case "chocolate is mentioned, one of the GF's four year old is highly
allergic
to it and has to be watched closely ...)

children often have less control about avoiding the things they should not
have
than adults.  as such, the adults who don't have similar health problems
should
always keep these things in mind.
