Should not be.  He should be up and feeling good by the next day.  I work at day care and i have seen kids come in after 4 hours after there surgery and they are fine. Up and running around.  Those are the younger ones, but I would say mabey 1 day off of school and then he should be good to go!  Good luck

If you are sincere member of the church you go to, you shouldn't take a vacation from it. If you just go to church because you don't have anything else to do, then you could take a vacation from it.

A toddler’s health is something parents should be concerned about because at this stage a toddler is very active, they encounter many new things and do a lot of dangerous things. Because toddlers are more active and because many parents tend to go to more places once children begin getting older the chances of colds and flu increase, parents should prepare.\nImmunizations\n\nParents should be up to date on their children’s vaccinations, vaccinations are very important tools that help prevent various childhood diseases and protect against germs that are floating in the air.\n\nEach time a child is immunized a parent is given a shot record that keeps track of all of the vaccinations a child has received. Parents should keep this shot record in a safe place at all times and if a parent isn’t quite sure if their child is up to date or not a quick call to the pediatrician or local health department should help a parent make sure.\n\nFever\n\nMost parents never think about what they will do when their toddler is feverish. At the first sign of fever take the toddlers temperature reading and call the pediatrician or the pharmacist to ask what type of pain reliever is best but most will recommend Tylenol or Motrin, follow the dosage directions on the packaging. \n\nPlace the toddler in the bathtub for a lukewarm bath because sometimes a bath can counteract to reduce a fever. \n\nAfter the bath the toddler should be dressed in warm clothing to keep them snug, usually a temperature can be brought down this way but it may return within hours.  Give the toddler another bath if needed but if a fever is high and refuses to come down, take the toddler to the doctor or emergency room because a fever could be a sign of something simple or serious. \n\nDiarrhea\n\nToddlers tend to experiment with lots of food that sometimes results with diarrhea! When in doubt or in severe cases, call the pediatrician or pharmacist for direction but do not give anyone with diarrhea milk or dairy products; instead go to the market to purchase pediatric drinks made specifically for little tots with diarrhea. \n\nThe ideal meal for a toddler with diarrhea is rice and bread or if the toddler doesn’t have much of an appetite a couple of pieces of toast or some crackers is great. The point is to get some absorbent into the stomach to absorb the painful liquid. \n\nIt’s also important to drink lots of liquid because with diarrhea it’s easy to become dehydrated. Clear drinks such as water, ginger ale, sprite or 7-up are acceptable but avoid darker liquid drinks or juices with a lot of sugar.\n\nCuts & Scrapes\n\nOne thing that parents should brace for are injuries, just in case. Toddlers are on the move and sometimes a scrape on the knee or the elbow is inevitable. A first aid kit is a must.\n\nWhile some cuts and scrapes are worse than others they should always be cleaned with an antibiotic spray or a liquid like hydrogen peroxide to reduce the risk of infection. Neosporin is an excellent ointment to aid in the healing process and use a band-aid to finish off. \n\nFalls\n\nFalls are pretty tricky and head injuries … even worse. If a toddler falls, even if there are no marks left behind, keep a close eye on them and if they act even a tad bit strange take them to a physician immediately. Head injuries can be very serious and they are nothing to be played around with.\n\nThe risk of concussion or internal damage is to high to leave up to chance.\n\nIf a toddler falls inspect them closely to make sure there are no hidden injuries, talk to them, ask them if they are okay and monitor them closely for at least two hours after, do not let a toddler go to sleep after a bump on the head. It’s always best to call a pediatrician or the hospital emergency room.\n\nToddlers are adorable mini people that need lots of supervision and toddlers are rough and tough tots that love action, just keep it safe.

Yes, if it is necessary to have you around at a certain time then you can't take a vacation, in the middle of a project etc. or if some other person(s) who can do your job is/are not around then you have to take turns in taking your vacations.

Try to have things to do planned out while he is there.  I am about his age, and the worst thing about any vacation I have been on is having nothing to do.  Don't get me wrong, but plan some of the days to be for whatever/resting.  One month is a long time.  If he likes video games, find a way to bring them along with the vacation.  I can't imagine going one month without mine.

Leave. Pack up the kids for a little vacation and leave him a note. Leave a note saying something like, "I am very serious. This is what you are going to come home to one of these days if you do not make some changes. See you Sunday."\nTell the kids you are just taking a mini vacation and Daddy has to work and can't come. Just go away for one night and see if it wakes him up.\nJust a suggestion.

Nothing like the simple truth: "you need a few days off". Be assertive, it´s your vacation time.

for advances in pediatric care, you really have to pick a time span. Antibiotics are huge, but not very recent. One can consider medicines like ritalin for helping kids concentrate

2 years old is a good age but talk to your pediatrician to be sure.

Depends on the specialty. But pediatricians actually make the LEAST amount out of any specialty.\n\nThink ~$80k, compare that to an orthopedic surgeon who can make $300k starting.

The reason for the "vacation" was because the kids weren't going to be in school anyway.  They were busy with harvest.  It was critical to the community that everyone work.  Today, it is called a vacation.  Personally, I think that kids don't see enough family time.  I also believe that they don't see much during the summer either.  Children start school earlier and earlier.  By law, they have to start school at four years of age.  It isn't enforced, but it is the law.  That's 14 years of school before college, and they want the summers too.

It depends on whether they are on vacation or in the OR or at home.
