[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251146, member: 1233"] Marg has a saying "School work during school time". what she means (and I agree with) is that if you are sick you stay IN BED. You can do workbooks or read textbook type things if you are not sleeping. Or if they do a reading program she can read her book for that. But a day off from school because you are sick should NOT be a "Fun" day. Since her tummy hurts and her throat hurts and she might barf, she needs to be IN BED, with a bowl to barf in. She doesn't want to make you sick, so she needs to keep her germs IN BED. AFTER school hours she can talk with Mommy, she can do a CALM activity like snuggle up with a movie (IF she has stayed in bed so she is "well" enough). But NO crafts, computer, video games, toys, etc... are approved. Only chicken soup to eat, or weak tea and dry toast - foods you eat when you are SICK. This is what I do with thank you when he is playing sick. Of course, he LOVES school and rarely does that. I also do it with Jessie and have done it with Wiz. If they get the message that a day off of school is for fun, and playing with Mommy, there will be a LOT more days off school because she is "sick". I DO loosen up some if thank you is really sick. I can tell because he actually SLEEPS when he is sick, otherwise he doesn't ever sleep during the day. But the loosening up ONLY happens in the late afternoon. I am sorry Tink is being so difficult. This is part of getting control of the house back from her, I am afraid. Anyway, hope you day is good. [/QUOTE]
