I have posted about this on another thread but am feeling a little down about it today. Ds has been absent from pre school for two weeks with tonsilitus and a chest infection type thing. We saw gp for second time on sat (he has something called nasal drip? - must google it later) and got new medicine which doesnt seem to be doing much. Anyway he was due to go back today and then he was sick this morning due to all the coughing. Anyway took him to school to explain situation as am worried that I would get into trouble for time off and they said to bring him home as they had rehearsal for scool play today and prob be best to try again tomoro as its anormal session for him. He is also not going to be at school Thurs/Fri as we are away (it has been planned for some time. But now am worried cos i mentioned about getting into trouble that Im gonna have social services on my doorstep or something. I know its silly but I do worry a lot in general anyway.

don't worry too much. as long as you have kept the school informed they won't be able to do much anyway i wouldn't have thought. you are doing the best thing for your son and that i slooking after him at home. do you have phone? that might be easier on your son when he under weather. hope he better soon x

How old is you ds. You don't have any legal requirement to send them to school until they are 5.

Is it preschool or school ? Until he has turned 5 you are under no legal obligation to send him . Erratic attendance may be inconvenient for the preschool but shouldn't cause any trouble.
