Kids do get school vacations and weekends, but always, there are siblings around for at least part of the day. If one son goes to a friend's house, it'll only be for a few hours, and when we have friends over here, both brothers are together.
Both my kids have impeccable attendance records and neither missed any school until Jan or Feb, and each have only missed two days. So, we're really on-the-ball with this.
But, now I wonder if it may actually be healthy for each child to miss a few days a year to rejuvenate during the eight hours the other child is gone.
Do you guys think it's okay for a child to have an occasional "day off" at home where he/she can enjoy peace and quiet by themself? Would you do this for your child?
