[quote=Anonymous]My kid has packed for himself, including international vacations, since he was 8. I don’t remember him ever forgetting anything he really needed. I might let him know what weather to plan for and whether or not he needs swimming trunks, but that’s about it. I think it also depends on the kid. I wouldn’t mind shelling out for extra socks or whatever if he forgot something. I’ve also never lost a piece of luggage, and I’ve traveled a lot and usually check a bag. I think DCUM posters overestimate how often that happens. Do what you’re comfortable with and let other people do them. Neither of these examples are going to make or break a child’s chance of turning into a functional adult. [/quote]
