A sick day is for getting well

When illness strikes, you may need to keep your child at home. Take care of your child, but don't make staying home a treat. That can make your child want to miss more school. Instead of filling the day with screen time, read together. This is the perfect time to dive into a longer book. And if your child will be out for more than a day or two, ask the teacher how to access missed work.
