So as parents, let's do the best we can to always turn up for work when something serious is not happening because the kids are watching and besides, it's part of the training we impart on to them. We should desist from giving them the false impressions that the world is to come to a halt because of one minor headache or cold.

If the kids are always kept away from school because of some little flu both real and artificial, when they grow up and has to work under a boss, their overall performances would be hampered by series of absentees from work.

It is a proven fact that those who seldom stay at home because of illness has been found to be more fit and better off in health than those who always feel sorry for themselves. Let the children know that it pays to keep fit than pitying oneself all year round and at every slightest forms of illness.

Some parents may come up with some arguments of preventing the spread of the germs at the school, but where did they pick it up from the first place?. Think about that.

 Keep those excuses away and get your kids to the school, after all it's part of learning which consists  of mingling together as children that they are. Their immune system would be stronger if they are constantly up with the other kids at the school.

 Train your kids to know the importance of living an enjoyable life just like the butterflies that freely live their life flying to places of interest unlike the caterpillar which goes through life hugging and sorrowing all it's life with nothing much to show for it.

Keep the kids at home and give them all the necessary attentions if they are really sick but do all you can to shield them from growing up thinking that excuses can be given at a whim for a day off from school or work.

Give the children a very good start for work life and see them grow up to give you back in quantum all that you had spent time imparting into them.
