[quote=Anonymous]My mother lost me at that age at a shopping center. These things happen even outside of field trips. People get separated. Sounds like your child did the right thing and it all worked out ok, and he probably developed some confidence from solving the problem himself. I teach my kids to find an appropriate grownup if they get lost, or we come up with meeting spaces when we enter a busy area like a museum or at Disney etc. I tell them to stick to their buddy and not use the restroom alone on field trips. I make my child wear his gizmo on field trips - they aren't allowed at the school technically but I've never had a teacher call me out on its use for this. This way he has a way to call me in an emergency. And yes, I track my kid during the day to make sure he is where he is supposed to be, but that's more because it's fun to me than really stressing about it. I'm not going to deny my kids a field trip. [/quote]
