[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to the PP's advice above, make sure that being "sick" isn't fun. When my mom thought we were faking, she'd call our bluff and let us stay home, but we had to stay in bed all day, we couldn't play outside, no TV, etc. If we were genuinely sick, we wouldn't protest (because when you're really sick you just want to lay in bed), but if we were faking, that took away the incentive. [/quote] My mother's rule when we were home sick was this - we were in bed, no tv, no playing with toys, etc. Because honestly, if you are sick, that's where you belong. IF we had ever thought to 'play sick' we wouldn't have because it was a bit boring in our bedrooms, although I had all the books I could read so that was a good thing![/quote]
