Sorry, I think maybe I didn't explain properly. When a child is sick to the point where they can't properly participate in daily events, you request that they stay home. But what if you're the one who got them sick?
And I decided to close because my son has what sounds like bronchitis and the other little boy has a really thick cough. Today, my charge slept for seven hours in total throughout the day. It wasn't just because of a runny nose. Sorry. Guess I didn't communicate properly :s

My main question was how do you turn a child away from care when you're the one who got them sick? Like, if I came down with a gastric flu and then passed it on the child, obviously, I don't want them coming back and giving to the other kids who may not have caught it from me. Just wanted to know, I guess, how you deal with the guilt lol
