A MUM has revealed she lets her daughter, six, take an extra day off school each month, even though she's not sick.<\/p>\n
The move has left other parents divided, with some saying it's actually a good thing to take more time off for fun and others slamming the mum for interrupting her education.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Her daughter, Giada, can look forward to doing any fun activity she likes on her extra day off, including shopping, snacking on candy floss and playing with toys.<\/p>\n
Noella Palmento, from the US, revealed her controversial parenting technique on TikTok.<\/p>\n
"I told my daughter she can pick one day each month to stay home from school without being sick," the text over the social media clip reads.<\/p>\n
Parents praised Noella for letting Giada take what many are calling a 'mental health<\/span> day'.<\/p>\n But not everyone was so sure it was a good idea to let her miss school if she's not unwell.<\/p>\n "One every month is a little wild just because she'll expect it as she gets older, but I grew up knowing I could ask for a mental health day whenever I needed," one person commented on the post.<\/p>\n But the mum said that wouldn't be an issue, since she has no plans to stop Giada from taking the extra day as she gets older too.<\/p>\n "I'm a teacher and I'm not even mad about it. Especially if she's so little!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Mental health days are super important and let kids be kids," someone commented.<\/p>\n Another agreed: "My mum did this whenever I would get so overwhelmed with school and I'm honestly so thankful for that."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, other parents were concerned about the school's attendance policy.<\/p>\n "Make sure you double check attendance policy for how many days you can miss, my niece got held back," one warned.<\/p>\n And a second wrote: "Why not just do this on the weekend?!<\/p>\n But Noella noted that she doesn't need to give the school any kind of explanation or excuse.<\/p>\n "I don't gotta say nothing, I'm paying to send my daughter to school she doesn't go to public school," she quipped.<\/p>\n Apart from the odd troll, the reaction to Noella's parenting rule had a pretty positive reaction.<\/p>\n Some even said they'd start doing the same thing with their kids, but maybe not as often.<\/p>\n One said: "That\u2019s so smart I'm totally doing this with my future<\/span> kids."<\/p>\n "I love this and it's not hurting anyone, you go mom," another raved.<\/p>\nREAD MORE ON PARENTING<\/h2>\n
