[quote=Anonymous]Not reading the full article but my thoughts are 1) my kids have a long summer vacation. Older one has almost 2.5 months and younger one has 3 months. They each do camp for 6-7 weeks, and that still leaves many lazy, unstructured weeks. I wouldn’t want them at home doing nothing for 10-12 weeks - they are better off at camp socializing, learning to transition between activities, swimming and playing sports. 2) I work. The time they’re at home is spent with a babysitter with me and DH taking them on vacation for a week, and some days and off here and there. I’m not sure they’re better off at home begging to watch TV all day with a babysitter than they are doing enriching organized and social activities. If I didn’t work, I’d still want them in camp for at least part of the summer for this purpose. All about balance IMO. [/quote]
