[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s good training for college. She needs to learn how to be away. 5 days is a super short sleep away camp. Besides pick me up did she say why? Call today when she is calm.[/quote] I'm a huge advocate of sleep-away camps and I did them young and expect that my daughters will as well, but OP's daughter is ELEVEN! She does not need to be "training" for college.[/quote] It's not training for the daughter, it's training for the mother. Her daughter will also call her all stressed out from college and guess what... it's normal. You don't go pick her up and bring her home. You listen, empathize... and go to bed. You can't fix everything for you kids. Also, the daughter is in 6th grade... or going into 6th... 5 nights away at that age is nothing. [/quote]
