The first one is that her class are in a portacabin on the school field.It is SO HOT.My DD had what seemed to be a water infection last Thursday and I told her teacher that I was taking her to the doctor to get an antibiotic but I wanted her to drink plenty of water.Anyway they had an hours PE lesson and soon after they got out and started running about DD asked if she could have a drink.The teacher said no the rule is that they can only have a drink at playtime.
Anyway last night her waterworks seemed to be no better and she was getting twinges in her kidney I made another doctors appointment and told the teacher all about her symptoms and said she needed to drink plenty.
When I went to pick her up it was just like a wall.DD looked really pale ,her lips were dried and cracked and she was in much more pain from her kidney.
She downed nearly a pint of water 'in ome'.The doctor diagnosed a kidney infection at once and she has given her another antibiotic.She commented on how dehydrated DD seemed .
I don't think it is reasonable to expect a child to wait until the next playtime for a drink in hot weather -let alone a child who has a UTI.I really don't want to send her tomorrow
The second thing is a boy who is her cousin , is raelly rough to her at school.Today he chased after her and stung her arm with a nettle (held in a leaf.When she showed the teacher she said 'please don't sting people X'That was it.Its not the first time he has stung her and last week he bounced a basket pall on her head and threw a stone at her.He is always telling her he hates her too.Again AIBU to expect there to be a consequence to deliberately stinging a child ? DD is 7 BTW

londonone - I was sharing my experience and it was your post I couldn't be bothered to answer as you were implying I had not done the best for my child.

We have 'Drink to Think' in my school. The children have a school water bottle on their tables all day and drink all the time. It's very easy! I would talk to the teacher and the head together on this one.
With regard to the family situation, could you talk to his mum first??

londonone - I found after the first week the toilet breaks stopped and I have to say the bottles never really get in the way. I am sure your lessons are far to exciting to miss and they wouldn't be in the loo all the time
