Does Your Kid Want to Stay Home From School Because He's "Sick"? Use Your Intuition! Listen to This Story... Parenting

This morning, my son said he had a sore throat and was too sick to go to school. He didn’t seem sick, but was laying it on thick. At first, I wasn’t sure what to do, so I let my intuition guide me. 

First, it said to let him express how sick he felt. Next, I gently told him that he seemed well enough to give school a try. Then intuition said to let him express his anger about having to go to school. I did all of the above, and soon his coat was on, his backpack was packed and he was smiling, ready and waiting for the school bus. 

What is your intuition telling you about your child today?
