Would you take your two year old out of preschool for constantly being sick?

Question

So my son started preschool (nursery class) for the past two months. He has been enjoying it. However, he seems to get sick every week with the last time requiring hospitalization for three days due to a very high fever. I’m considering taking him out of day care and sending him to live with my mom as I’m working and have no one here with me to take care of him. So stressed and don’t want him to stay away again and at the same time he’s losing weight due to getting sick.

Answer

Kids getting sick at daycare/preschool is very normal since they are exposed to so many germs and viruses. My daughter who was barely sick, when she started daycare brought home some nasty viruses to share with me. It does help build their immune system. It’s annoying that they always get sick but it’s something that can’t be avoided unless you put them in a bubble.

Answer

I’m a SAHM/Homemaker. My son is currently 6 years old and in the 1st grade. When my son started Kindergarten he got sick literally almost every month or every other month. Scared the shit out of my husband and I. He has gotten the rsv, a stomach virus, flu and bronchitis and lots of colds. As bad and scary as all that sounds it actually help build his immune system. Before he started school he hardly got sick and when he did it was when my husband and I got sick. Now that he’s in first grade he’s only gotten sick twice this whole year. In August a weird virus went around and right now he’s sick with strep

Answer

Can you just change preschools, maybe a diet change, teach him hand hygiene or talk to the preschool about them teaching the kids hand hygiene

Answer

If you remove him from (nursery) preschool yes it help with right now from reducing his chances of getting ill, but its something he’s going have to go through once he starts full time school. The bonus of him going through the illness now, is that he build up a better immunity to when he’s in full time school and is around a lot more kids and bugs. My little girl was hospitalised for 4days at 2.5wks old because both my boys had the cold from being a school and passed it on to her. It’s something every child goes through when they around other kids. Unless you home school you only postponing the inevitable of your child getting ill. ￼￼

Answer

My daughter started preschool only ended up getting sick maybe 5 time in a whole year so idk. I hear it normally for kids to get sick a lot but if you are concerned about you child health then listen to your gut and search for different care. Good luck

Answer

Yes I would. You have the option, just go for it for at least another year.

Answer

Maybe try boosting his immune system with natural herbs ......raw ginger and lemon tea always keep me from not getting sick and I usually give my daughter some diluted of course

Answer

The first year in daycare/school is rough! It’s normal for them to be sick 10-15 times! After that, they will be bomb-proof though! (Sorry, horse person language lol).

Answer

When I put my son into daycare it was constantly like that because they’re exposed to new things & kids share EVERYTHING. just wait it out. If you take him out he’ll never build his immune system up & hell do the same thing when he goes off to school. It sucks watching them be sick but if you’re not liking that school put him in another but don’t take him out completely.

Answer

Definitely normal. It’s better now than when they’re in school later. He’s building up his immune system.
