There are so many things that parents need when it comes to getting the kids ready for every school year. So many kids are excited about the new year with all of their new and old friends but that's not the case with all of them. There is one thing that you need to have on hand that will be the one argument buster for every "sick day". Every parent needs a good thermometer.

Only two of our kids actually enjoy school the other two spend the majority of the time trying to figure out new ways to get out of it without getting an unexcused absence. The only sure thing that will get you out of school without a trip to the hospital is a fever.

Do you know how many tricks there are out there to get a false reading on a thermometer? The stick style, under the tongue thermometers, are the easiest to fake.

If your kids are as crafty as mine, they will just google the "how to get sent home from school", "how to fake being sick", "how to fake a fever", and so many more. Yes, thee are actual resources for our kids on the wide world of web.



There are so many heat sources that you wouldn't even think of. Our kids are really stinking crafty. If they put half as much energy into staying at school as they do to get out of school, their inner Einstein would shine.

My parental defense, a good ear thermometer. This thermometer doesn't leave my room and it's hiding better than the Christmas presents. They are going to school unless they are really sick. They aren't going to lay here and worry me to death until 11am when it's too late to be marked present for the day then amazingly heal up and want to go to their friend's house.

The Digital Forehead and Ear Infrared Thermometer by ReliefCare is an amazing choice. This is an awesome ear thermometer and a forehead thermometer all in one. You can take a temp two different way by touching the infra-red thermometer to a forehead or removing the cover and place in the ear.



There are ways to heat it up but, not if they are sitting right in front of me. No light bulbs, or other heat sources handy to give an inaccurate reading. Yes, I'm on to them.

what I love so much about this thermometer is how easy it is to use. It's great for everyone not just questionable teens. Infants, toddlers, kids, and adults can easily use this thermometer for an accurate reading.

Toddlers are the hardest to get to stay still for a thermometer, the  Digital Forehead and Ear Infrared Thermometer has a 1 second latency time that provides you with quick measurements in Fahrenheit or Celsius. No struggling or squirming to get the temp. When the little guys are fighting it and don't want their temp taken, and then they are crying, it just makes their body temp go up higher.



The professional easy to read screen clearly shows body temperature. When you are trying to do it all fast, a series of beeps and a red light on the display signal a fever has been detected. It's so easy to use this thermometer!

When your patient is sick and running a fever, it's easy to keep track of their progress. This thermometer keeps a storage of 25 readings that you can access right on the digital display. This thermometer also comes with 2 AAA batteries already installed. You can open the box and use it immediately.

If you are looking for an easy to use, accurate thermometer, the Digital Forehead and Ear Infrared Thermometer by ReliefCare is a great choice. It's available on Amazon and also has free 2-day shipping for Prime members.
