Why Is My Child “Allergic to Spring”?

Spring should be filled with sunshine, fresh air, and outdoor play — not tissues, congestion, and frustration.

If your child seems “allergic to spring,” there may be more going on than pollen exposure alone. Many parents are surprised to learn that the nervous system plays a major role in how the body responds to environmental triggers.

When the nervous system is stuck in stress mode, immune responses can become exaggerated, leading to recurring seasonal struggles.

The good news? There’s a way to look deeper and support your child’s ability to regulate and adapt more effectively.
