Stay or send home

[Inspired by Reggio]

Oh poor guy ... I would have handled that the same way - sometimes kids act like that just cause they are 'teething' or fighting of a virus that you cannot 'treat' anyway ... so in absence of any concrete signs of communicable disease I would not have told her he HAD to go home but just called to up date her on how he was feeling and give a 'heads up' that something might be brewing and if he goes down hill further - aka a fever develops or he is really not coping and so forth - he might need to go home ... I generally find most clients who can will arrange to pick up in those scenarios and if they truly cannot leave work they will say 'I have a meeting / commitment this morning but will give my boss a heads up just in case - please call me back if anything changes and I will make arrangements to get there ASAP' type things.
