Sickness policy

On the three year old if they were sent home on Tuesday, stayed home on Wednesday - 24 hours from the time I sent them home is Thursday morning - in a way the mom's only mistake was being honest with you and saying it was 11 am Wed instead of 7 am. Be careful you don't teach parents to lie to you - remember our treating fever discussions. I probably would have taken the child Thursday morning.

On the 10 month old are they only breast fed or eating food. The child should be given a snack just before pickup - cheerios or something they can feed themselves or you giving some applesauce if you have time. Then the child will survive till mom gets them home to be breastfed. By the time she eats baby will be ready for their supper so it becomes a win for everyone.

I will then put it to 48 hours, for those who can't respect a really simple rule and punish the ones that understood and respected it all along!

Thanks for the idea! Yes the child eats food. I applied it today!
