[quote=Anonymous]My children have not attended camp, but the suggestions to call the camp to make sure your child is ok seem like good ones for your own piece of mind. I am, however, a pretty frequent reader of this board, and it is really striking the contrast between people's reactions to an 11 year old kid who might be unhappy to a kid in camp (i.e., wait it out a couple weeks with essentially no contact from the family) and all of the everyday emotional support/logistical scaffolding that goes on here. So your child reaches out to a parent for emotional support -- and the response is to ignore? That might be the "best" response for a kid who is in camp, but it really is in contrast to all the stuff that gets posted on how to engage your kids on the other 340 days of the year.[/quote]
