Professional answer

First, confirm with the school the specific items that need to be addressed, such as arrangements for physical education class, sports competitions, or recess activities. Then, have the doctor who is responsible for the child's care evaluate the situation. Ask the doctor to provide an opinion with a clear scope of application and a clear time for reassessment based on the child's condition. Parents should not fill in activity restrictions on their own based on online information, and they do not need to provide the school with a complete medical record unrelated to care arrangements.
