[quote=Anonymous]My FIL was a doctor and my MIL was a nurse and my H still laments how he was never able to fake being sick as a kid. LOL. Our son did this (saying he was sick so I came early to get him) in first grade and like PP mentioned, we made it not fun to be home sick. He stayed in his bedroom, and there was no extra screen time or fun activity. He didn't do it again. Now he's in upper elementary and gets upset when he needs to stay home (like when he had a fever) because he can't see his friends. I think you can support her desire to be with you but also make it clear that it's not ok to lie in order to go home early. Like explain if it happens again, she will be resting in her room, there's no extra play time with you. That way if you have to enforce those consequences, she already knew what would happen. It's not punishment...you are setting future expectations.[/quote]
