If I kept him home with a cold he'd never go to school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394746 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:18:04 +0000 blackbird 1394746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever, diarrhea, something bad. Otherwise I send some tylenol. She's usually distracted at daycare and does better there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394734 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 09:11:40 +0000 honeybear 1394734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I err on the side of caution. A fever isn't my litmus test. If he looks like he's caught something or is at all unhappy or uncomfortable, I keep him home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394689 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 08:46:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1394689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cough we send. only a fever we keep home pretty much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394667 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 08:33:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1394667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless its a really extreme cough and she isn't feeling well on top of it (just wants to lay around) I would send her. Usually she just has a light cough and is still up for playing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394603 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 07:38:19 +0000 looch 1394603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really only keep my son home when he's running a fever or has stomach issues. If he has a cough, it's usually asthma induced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394602 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 07:37:15 +0000 Dandelion 1394602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't keep DS home for a cough. More than likely, he got it there, anyways. I only keep him home if there's a fever or an ear infection starts coming because of it. If he's otherwise looking happy and normal, I don't keep him home.</p> <p>I do keep him home if it kept him up a lot at night. Either keep him home or give him an extra hour in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-to-keep-home-from-school#post-1394600 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 07:33:14 +0000 Pancakes 1394600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How sick does your child have to be before you keep them home from school? DD has a cough but no fever. On one hand, I feel bad exposing other kids to her germs but at the same time I don't think I ever missed school for a cold. How do you decide when to keep your child home? </p>
