It’s horrible when you know what’s right for your kids but they won’t listen isn’t it ?. My daughter came home from nursery yesterday with chicken pox ?, they said even though they knew it was chicken pox I have to take her to be diagnosed so she can be off nursery for a week. Why friggin send me up there when you know it’s chicken pox?! Frustrates the shit out of me.
Have you tried different kinds of drinks with your child? I tend to only let mine drink water or them innocent smoothies, but when she won’t drink I try her with squash or pure apple or orange juice. Might be worth a shot.
Hope your son gets better soon x
