Change school?

Question

My lo is 2y4m old n has been attending school since last year oct(18mo), things are pretty great with her current school, the teachers are friendly n nice, centre is responsive to our queries, not too far away even though there are nearer schools. However, she has been falling sick weekly/biweekly ever since n longest she didnt fall sick was 3weeks n only once. She would attend school for a week or 2 then be home sick for 2-3 weeks 😵‍💫 n has already passed her illness to her baby brother(4mo) 5times already. This week shes home sick due to HFMD again, this is the second time, previous time was just in april. We were wondering if changing school would be a good option for her? Not too sure how shed cope though.. Any tips on what we can do to helpher cope if we were to change school? Or what can we do to help her n not change her school? #toddler  #adviceplease

hi there! I too have a 2 year old toddler attending playgroup just downstairs of where I stay. personally, I don't think changing school would help in 'coping'. my toddler started school this year April and like yours , had been falling sick , contracted hfmd , multiple flus , fevers. but I believe this is due to their immune being low 😅 previously before starting school they're always at home with us , not quite exposed to viruses outside and so in a different environment, the body might be shocked to get attacked la. haha! perhaps you could give those immunity vitamins or natural fruits/veg that helps to boost their immune system? not much of an advise from me but even if you change school, the chances of yr kid getting sick is still gonna be there. 😅 hope this somewhat helps you!
