Have you ever had a gymnast come to the gym obviously sick and had your internal reaction be "go home and to bed and have some chicken soup"? I know I have! Where do you draw the lines of ok to be at the gym vs please, please stay home?
Mine are:
-If you've thrown up in the past 24 hours, do not come to the gym. I know, gym is wonderful, we have trampolines, but if the kid is a bit ehhh I don't want them tossing their cookies on our equipment. And of all contagious things, that one is probably my least favorite to catch. Sharing is not caring when it's a stomach bug.
-Coughing. Please get that checked out. Bronchitis is yuck, & whooping cough has been sited around here. Once a kid is checked out, ok, but those are things to not share. And regardless of what the coughing is from, even if it is not contagious, if they are coughing hard enough to wear themselves out they should be at home.
-Ear infections. Air awareness is important. The worst thing about this one is when they feel ok except for random attacks of dizziness. That scares me. Safety issue.
