I'm wondering if there is a best practice for moms on when to keep a sick kid home. For example, if she has fever in the morning and DD stays home from school, would you send her to gym if the fever is gone at gym time? Even if they still seem a little beat? What if you just sense your kid is coming down with something? What if she's getting over something but is going to be tired, and coughing and sneezing through the practice? My DD is 7 and she has missed a bunch of classes because of travel so I know our coaches just want me to get her into the gym, and I don't blame them. I want her in the gym too-- but not at the expense of giving her time to get over an illness or making it worse because she doesn't get a full nights sleep. So I'm not sure what the right call is.
Also, I can't just send her and tell her to have them call me if she says she feels sick because she'll never admit that to a coach. I'm interested in what coaches and other parents think is the right approach. My DD was almost never sick in the past, but unfortunately this is question has come up a few times recently.
