[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to at least give her 2 weeks to adjust. That's teaching grit and commitment - especially since the camp staff says she seems fine and happy during the day. Sometimes the *anticipation* of a thing is worse than the actual thing. If after 2 weeks she is still crying about going, then it's time to discuss alternatives. Perhaps you could drive her to eliminate the bus ride but still keep her in camp. I know it must be breaking your heart to see her upset, but unless there is more going on that you haven't included, this is probably a case of teaching your child to be resilient. A summer camp with friends is not a horrible place to learn life lessons.[/quote]
