Sick kids mean missed work, school, and sleep, and if you have a neurodivergent child who thrives on routine, illnesses are even worse.
Sleep! We always seem to get sick when we have 'pushed' bedtime. So making sure they get a solid 10+ hours is key.
Prebiotics and postbiotics can be helpful with immunity. Elderberry syrup daily! It tastes really good, and you take a tablespoon a day.
Our sleep routine saves us in 'virus season.' It's getting dark early anyway, so we just make a point to move toward bed quite early.
