[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 378678, member: 1991"] Re sending her to school tomorrow or not - we had similar problems with difficult child 3's anxiety before we pulled him out. He was increasingly missing school (or they were sending him home) and we were having a difficult time making the decision to send him (and have him fail and be sent home 'sick') or keep him home and have him feel rewarded for being sick. So we brought in the rule "school work during school hours". The only way out is to sleep. No having a sick kid home wrapped up in blankets watching TV. If the kid is well enough to watch TV, the kid can watch an educational documentary. Or if the kid is well enough to play computer games, they can be educational programs. if the kid is well enough to read a book, it can be a textbook. I would beg schoolwork from the teacher, plus I laid in a stash of my own educational supplies so we never ran out. If difficult child 3 said he was too sick to work, I told him to go to bed and sleep; he could work when he woke up. He will only sleep if he really needs it or is really ill. So for us now - even a fever won't stop difficult child 3 doing schoolwork. It set us up with a good ground rule for when we did begin home schooling/correspondence. I would vote for not sending her tomorrow, but making sure she gets some schoolwork done The first area to start with, is any outstanding homework or assignments. Put the time to good use.
