It can be a stressful time when your little one gets chicken pox, especially if you have more than one child as the infection is so contagious.
And while your child's well-being will of course be your main priority, it's also important to think about yourself too. For example, many parents at some point find themselves asking: 'can I go to work if my child has chickenpox?'
While your child should stay off school when they have the condition, and if you catch it too you should stay off work, experts say that clocking in is typically safe for uninfected parents.
