[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 607900, member: 14557"] My difficult child was impossibly difficult to get to school and sick days certainly made it more difficult. So before totally giving up his attendance issues, our rule was, that throwing up/diarrhea or fever or doctor's order were good enough reasons to stay home. Though with cold with fever or bad stomach flu we also let difficult child stay home one extra day. So after he didn't have fever at the evening, he could still stay home next day, if he still felt sick. But when you were sick, you were sick. No playing outside, only calm play inside, certainly no friends or hobbies. That rule helped difficult child to feel better more quickly :winking: easy child has actually mostly wanted to go to school (and always to his hobbies etc.) so after difficult child grew big enough to not compare too much, easy child has been let to stay home even when he only tells he doesn't feel well. Doesn't happen too often and I doubt there is more than one or two days he has skipped without actually feeling sick. [/QUOTE]
