Parenting: The Challenge

You’d think your kids would be extremely excited for summer camp, but that’s not always the case. They may be a little apprehensive about leaving home and meeting new people. There are some ways to help with the anxiety. Sometimes camps will have an event to get to know people, go with them to that event. Go through the schedule with them so they know what to expect. Schedule with one of their friends so they have someone that they already know with them. Keep in touch with them while they are there, they will be happy to know you’re thinking of them and have something to look forward to. Camp should be a fun adventure, when they leave take a photo with them and let them know that the adventure is about to begin.
