[quote=Anonymous]So, OP says the child is not alone b/c of the chaperone -- so I'll accept that the chaperone is like a baby sitter. But, tell me, OP, do you think there would be any emotional toll for your child? Is he/she an out-going child, always happy, easy to roll with changes and strangers? There is no way my kids (at 5) would even ever get on a plane with a stranger! They would have been hugging my legs and crying, begging to stay with me. The unknown can be really scary. I think we adults have life experience and say "nothing will happen" -- but we forget what the mental/emotional state of a 5 yr. old is really like. I had stress when my child was at camp for the first time and she was perfectly fine -- but I just didn't know and I wasn't in reach. I, myself, could never send a 5 yr. old into the wide open yonder... it would be very stressful for me even if it wasn't for him/her![/quote]
