exposing kids to chicken pox

[Guest guest]

A child in my neighborhood has the chicken pox so I'm getting some lollipops

from her. Just wanted some advice.

What do I need to help ease their symptoms?

What should I expect? I've read most of the symptoms online but would love to

hear personal experiences.

What should I do about school? Should I tell the school that there is a chance

they were exposed to chicken pox and see what they want me to do? Or should I

wait to make sure they get it first before telling them? I just feel guilty if

I wait because they are contagious before the rash shows up, correct? I'm sure

most of the parents at school don't want their kids to have chicken pox.

Also how do you explain it to your kids that you are exposing them?
