[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to stick it out. It will get better. The same thing will likely happen when he is a colllege freshman. Have to stick it out. [/quote] agree with this 100%. Whatever you do, don't swoop in and rescue him from afar. Learning to navigate socially even when you don't naturally click with a group is one of the most valuable things you can teach a kid. [/quote] I'm not sure I agree with this. As an adult, if I'm not wanted or don't click, I fix it, move or whatever. And, also, I'm an adult and not a tween/teen who has different emotional needs and is at different stages of development. I'd personally reach out to talk to him first, and then the camp if it really is untenable. It's not ok to ask him to be alone and miserable for the week, weeks, month or whatever he is there. It's just not. [/quote]
