Hands up everyone who likes having a sick child?
Mmm, that's what I thought... it's one of the most trying parts of being a parent. Quite apart from the anxiety associated with your beloved baby being ill, there's the huge stress of deciding how sick they are, and whether to try to send him or her to school or daycare if you have to go to work yourself- with the risk they'll be sent home anyway, and you'll cop the reproachful look or lecture from the teacher on top of your other worries. Better to try to avoid illness in the first place. So, how can we optimise a small child's health?
