    Sick Kids

    I admit I am always torn when it comes to sending kids home. Or not torn but I guess it's a feeling of guilt. Lol.

    What do you deem as sick enough to send home or to have the parents keep them home the next day? As the weather gets colder, cold season has begun and I currently have a little guy (2 yrs) that is sick. Super runny nose, coughing on everyone and everything, not napping well and just generally crabby. I can handle the runny noses but my concern lies with the coughing on everyone and everything all day. I fear the others getting sick more than they would normally and cringe every time he coughs on another child as they play close together. Yet he's not super sick (still participating and playing) so I'm feeling that torn/guilty feeling.

    Would you ask mom and dad to keep him home tomorrow?
