Question:

My 5 year old daughter get sick or makes herself throw up just before school (kindergarden) each day. Is this common?

Answer:

Yes, it is common but it may progress to school phobia or the intentional feigning of illness to get out of going to school.  I would watch and evaluate the duration and timing of these instances and consult a health professional if they persist for longer than 1 month.
