It's a dilemma countless parents face every morning: Is their child well enough to go to school or daycare? Or sick enough to stay home?

"Is it stressful when your child gets sick?" I asked Clara, the mother of a preschooler.

"Yes, it's stressful to know if you're going to send them to school and then finding coverage for when I have to go to work and if he has to stay home," she replied.

Some cases are pretty clear, but other cases are anything but.

"So, like, when the runny nose is green, or when the fever is over 102, she has to stay home," Chanel, the mother of a preschooler, said.

"But they still like didn't have a fever, or they didn't have like a really bad cough or anything, but like I knew they weren't feeling good," Erin said.
