So, in my policy I obviously have the "must" stay home illness policies. Fever, vomitting, diarrhea, etc.

The little girl I have mentioned before who can not seem to stay healthy for more than a few days in a row has had a cold for nearly 2 weeks. It hasn't been affecting her play at all, and I don't have parents keep their children home due to cold symptoms. However, today her cold is full blown. She is chest coughing constantly and her nose literally does not stop...I'm sure she's used most of a box of kleenex at this point. She has bags under her eyes and she's moving slowly today. She's still acting happy, and playing and eating, she just looks and sounds horrible. I would LOVE for her to a rest day at home tomorrow so she has 3 days of rest so she can hopefully recover over the weekend and come fresh on Monday (before she gets sick again, ha!)

My question is, have you ever recommended a child stay home but not enforced it? Like suggested it to Mom at pick up? How did you word it? Or should I just leave it be and have her continue to fight it out here since it's not a mandatory stay home illness?
