Child sunburned at school?

momof3

My daughter walked in a few minutes ago and I noticed what I thought was a rash on her face . Then I noticed it on her neck and quickly determined after peeling her shirt off it was a sunburn. This happened while she was at school. She is 5 years old and in Kindergarten. Here it is November and we are still dealing with sunburns. I thought they limit sun expose at school. She donât know how long she was outside she is only 5. Should I call the school and ask them to bring in the kids sooner . Would I be overstepping my bounds telling them what to do? They didnât even send home a note. Usually when you have a problem a note is sent home. I would think sunburn is a problem. I have put aloe vera on it. She isnât complaining of pain though.

Answer
She would have had to have been outside for a very long period of time to get a serious sunburn. Its not really a problem, especially if its only a first degree burn. It was not really necessary for them to send a note home. In fact, your daughter probably didn't even notice.I think that you would be overstepping your boundaries by asking them to shorten recess, on the other hand, including some sunscreen in your daughter's backpack in the morning would be a completely resonable solution.

Also, you dont need to put aloe on if there isn't any pain. All it does is relieve the burn, and if she can't feel it there is no use. All sunburns take 1-3 weeks to disappear.

Do you ever get the feeling that classmates with rolling backpacks think they're better than you?

To be clear, I'm not talking about people with back or shoulder problems or people who look healthy but may have a health problem. I'm talking about people who are *actually* perfectly healthy. I'm specifically talking about actually-perfectly-healthy college and grad students who are in their teens, twenties, or early thirties and pull a rolling backpack behind them everyday like it's a little subservient donkey, while everyone else carries their books on their own backs. Here's what goes through my mind: "What, your personal assistant quit because she couldn't endure your aura of entitlement one more second?"

Answer
Hahahaha! No, I never think that way exactly, but I find your induction pretty amusing.

I personally don't like the rolling backpacks; I used to have one, and it was a pain dragging that thing along everywhere. I prefer the normal backpacks with straps instead or even a simple shoulder bag. I understand why young children in elementary/middle school may use them - because carrying heavy books may hurt them (lol) - but students in university look a little funny when they use them. When they're walking down the hallway, they take up twice the amount of space haha and they also end up walking slower than most people because of the rolling backpack. Sometimes, other people need to move out of the way quickly to avoid running over the rolling backpack (I've seen it before, it was funny). And, how do they walk up the stairs? Do they carry their backpacks up by holding up the handle? Haha. Honestly I think they should leave the rolling part for suitcases only.

But, while it was funny, I don't care what other people do. If they want to use the rolling backpacks, so be it. It's just one of those things that tend to irritate some people like us haha.
