[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also headaches and sore throats. They usually clear up on their own by afternoon, and sometimes I wonder if she's just playing me, or exaggerating minor ailments, and other times I feel like something must be seriously wrong. Her doctor has not come up with anything concrete yet. She has a lot of friends at school, and no recent friendship drama, so it's not that, but the academic pressure may be getting to her. Her grades have suffered, a[b]nd I'm debating whether to email her teachers and ask for help or special accommodations. What could they offer?

Are you serious?  Your kid complains of stomach pains and sore throats all the time.  Sounds like she has missed a lot of school because of it and you want to email her teachers and ask for special accommodations?  You can not be serious.

Send them to school unless they have a fever, throwing up, diarrhea, or an obvious head/chest cold.  Otherwise, give them some Advil and say have a nice day at school.  Your kid needs to learn to suck it up and you need to learn to stop coddling.   [/quote]
