[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of my parents are retired, and they live 20 mins away. They speak really limited English, and my 2 kids do not understand or speak their languages. My kids do vacation & day camps as usual this summer. They have asked me why I don't send them to their home for the summer. The issue is that 1) they can't communicate with each other, 2) they let them on unlimited screentime, 3) they don't really take them out, except maybe driving them to a few places they only know. My parents do not really speak English, and they don't drive anywhere other than staying at their home. They don't know how to use gps.

They have done sleepover on long weekends at grandparent home a few times every year . My youngest daughter needs someone to play with and interact with her, and she feels bored normally at the end of first day because gransparents can't understand what she speaks. My oldest son is happy with screentime only. Their camps have a ton of activities. Next summer, should I let them to go there for one week/multiple weeks or just long weekends (3 days 2 night max)?
