[quote=Anonymous]Figure out some distractions, ie go away for a weekend at the beach with your spouse/partner, or to a spa or camping for a few days with perhaps some other mothers in the same situation who also have kids away at camp. Or sign up for a course in some new sport/activity/hobby that meets intensively for a week or two every evening. Or join a new volunteer organization. If your daughter is 10, she will accelerate away from you in terms of needing constant contact/input from you and if you try too hard to maintain that she may really push you away, so this is good practice for middle school and tween/teen transitions, you have to adapt to her growing independence and the happier you can be about it, the healthier your relationship is likely to be moving forward.
