It is the only way R will be still, even when not sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-toddler-to-rest-when-sick#post-1964362 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 10:17:34 +0000 travellingbee 1964362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So you'd say just let him play? He'll watch tv for a while. He's probably watched way too much, actually... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-toddler-to-rest-when-sick#post-1964295 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:04:26 +0000 blackbird 1964295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E had a stomach bug last week and would watch hours of TV with me ONLY if I sat with her. Then she must've started feeling better because there was no containing her and I couldn't stop it! I think when they feel super bad, they let you know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-toddler-to-rest-when-sick#post-1964289 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:01:43 +0000 travellingbee 1964289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 20 months old and very active. He currently has a bronchial infection with a high fever (102.5) that we are struggling to keep down even with advil/tylenol. He's grumpy and whiny but he is still very active. Won't sit still. Wants to still play, hard. Any ideas for getting him to rest? Or do I just let him play as much as he wants? </p>
