[quote=Anonymous]Does she know what sleepaway camp entails? At only 6, she’s probably focusing on the highlights her brother has bragged about (banana boat rides on the lake! dessert at every meal! campfires with s’mores!) and not processing that camp also includes walking to the bathroom in the dark, sleeping away from home, and going without her TV shows/neighborhood friends/pets for a looooong period of time. If she’s crying every day, that sounds like a parenting problem, not a “do I send to camp?” problem. Does she always cry when she doesn’t get what she wants? Is she able to separate from family members? How often does she perseverate about something she doesn’t like as opposed to re-channeling her energies?[/quote]
