[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you who say go get her to reinforce that you are always there for her, don’t you see how this is different from you are out with friends or in another situation. I was an overnight camp kid for at least a month for years (another country so cost not an issue) and my parents made me stick it out. (They also had no other child care alternatives) Even when I haaaated it and desperately wanted to go home. I never resented them. Looking back, this experience taught me perseverance and how to make friends anywhere. They did visit one time after a hysterical get me out call and persuaded me to stay. Loved the rest of that summer! [/quote] I disagree that it is a different situation. The question is whether parents are there emotionally and physically for a child when they are overwhelmed or whether they let them work it out for themselves. Reasonable people can have different opinions, but I come down on the side of being there for my kid.[/quote]
