    I think parents just assume they are (or hoping) they are going to be ok. Last week similar couple if days child sent to me who was clearly unwell.
    It's very unfair - particularly on the poor children who aren't well!

    I had a child with a terrible cough his parents eventually took him to doctors who gave him an inhaler. When he came to me I asked them to sign a permission form, we are not using it he doen't like it was their reply. Is it just me or are all parents like this.

    Surely this breaches your health and safety risk assessing and policy and not allow you to let them use your services!!! Can't believe this, poor LO hope you can get this sorted x

    Perhaps we need to take a more serious look at the "for a laugh" breathing policy recently posted on here!! X

    Tough luck if he doesn't like it, if he needs it he has to get it!! My DD (22 months) needs an inhaler when she gets a chest infection, which is a lot!!, and she has times when she struggles against it but she still gets it, at least if she's screaming while taking it I know she's breathing some of it in!!!

    I really don't understand some people. It's crazy that a child who is obviously in need of a prescribed inhaler isn't given one by their parents because 'they don't like it'. I just hope they took the LO I have to the docs on Friday. Though I've got a bad feeling that they probably didn't.
