My 6 year old nephew had the kid crud this week. You know, that annoying and pesky illness that kids get in school where they are too sick for school but almost too well to keep home...yet that's just what you have to do! So, home bound he was for a day and with his grand parents.
I had the opportunity to chat with him about his illness yesterday and here's what he had to say:
Me: You feeling better today?
Nephew: Yup. Much better than yesterday - yesterday was the worst ever!
Me: What are you up to today?
Nephew: I'm building stuff with Grandpa.
Me: You looking forward to getting back to school?
Nephew: Yes!!
Me: What do you miss the most about school? What are you looking forward to the most when you return tomorrow?
Nephew: Lunch recess.
Well, it is first grade...but having a 6th grader and an 8th grader at home, I'm not so sure the answers change much more over time!
As tough as it can be, though to keep kids with even mild symptoms home from school, it is important for your child and the school community. Here are a couple resources to help you sort out when to keep kids home from school and for what conditions:
How to decided if kids are sick enough to stay home from school
Sick symptoms that often require a child to stay home from school
Happy Friday!!
