My DD 12 (nearly 13) has had a couple of days off school recently due to feeling queasy and tummy ache when she wakes up, including today. She hasn't been sick despite saying she felt it. Although I sympathise, this could go on for months, and she may feel this every month when she gets her periods, and she cannot miss that much school. Help me strike a balance between being kind and also firm enough that she limits her absences from school. I made the point that I still have to go to work if I have period symptoms. Thanks.
