[quote=Anonymous]DD returned to her camp this summer. Last year she had a great time. This year it was a rough start. The first 10 days were hard. Letters to home were full of sadness and longing to come home. We're now 6 weeks in and the letters are starting to come saying she's sad that camp is ending soon and please make sure I sign her up for next summer. When the first wave of please come get me letters came, my instinct was to go get her. As a parent, we all want our kids to be happy. My kid was unhappy and I have the power to fix that. But I talked to parents whose kids have been at camp for many years, the director called me every day to give me updates, and ultimately, my daughter worked it out within herself. That's the growth that should be happening at camp. I'm proud of both of us--to her for allowing other people than mom and dad to help her and for her resolving her own issues and to me for not running up there at the first sign of unhappiness.[/quote]
