[2shoes]

ds is 14 and in yr 10. He has abug and I just can't see that he will be 100% monday. I think I should keep hime of. he has had 1 day of since september. what do you think.
He is really off colour,

[southeastastra]

let him stay off, why are you worried 1 day off since sept is great!

[Lilymaid]

My rule is that the child must rest at home all day and not go out. They must also check later with their friends to see what they have missed at school and make up any homework required.

My ds had a terrible bug and was home for 2 days he really needed it.I am now laid up with it and it is awful Let him stay home on the sofa

[2shoes]

you can tell he is ill as he is being nice
I worry as he had quite a few days off last year and we have been really working on his attendance. but you wouldn't go to work feeling that bad would you??
He will just stay at home lounging.

I would let him stay home.

[2shoes]

i am going to keep him off. he seems a bit better but says his head hurts and he is still nice

[tigermoth]

If it's only one day off since september, can't see the problem. He is going to school regularly now, whatever his attendance was like before.

Lucky you for having such a healthy son. My year 8 son is forever coming down with things.

Check how he is during the day, and get him any medicine that is necessary, so he has no excuses about not getting better. If you want to be hard, you could always ban computer, mobile phone and TV for the day, so if he stays at home it is in bed reading or sleeping.

2shoes - let him have the day off. My dd, yr 8 had 75% attendance last year and this year is only shaping up slightly better.

[2shoes]

cor you lot are hard not tv or computor. I know he is not putting on as he has been poorly all weekend. even turned down a KFC yesterday

[noddyholder]

how is he today 2shoes?I am no better and am thinking I may need anti biotics for my throat Still exhausted and now dp coming down with it

[themoon66]

I was struck down with this on 2nd Jan and am still not right. Wake every night two or three times with horrendously painful sore throat. And my sinuses aren't clear yet either.

My DS (year 11) has been off sick today too for the first time in over a year.

[2shoes]

he is ok in fits and bursts iynwim. then goes downhill. severe lack of energy. think we are looking at another day off. it is a 6 oclock wake up for him. so a long day if you are unwell. my freind had the same thing last week. and she said her appetite was fine but described it as you did noddy.

[2shoes]

can't believe he is still not right.
question is when do I send him back??
He is still quiet and not 100%

[noddyholder]

Me too 2shoes.I am still coughing and feeling awful.I am going to the doctors tomorrow

[2shoes]

i am going to try to send him back tomorrow. so wish me luck. he only has tomorrow as a proper school day Thursday is a theme day and Friday teacher training . I think it will do him good to go back.

[2shoes]

he went today. but oh bless it has knocked the stffing out of him, Thim I will keep him home tomorrow, then teacher training friday so 4 days to kick it.
