[quote=Anonymous]We are a HF and have had APs for 4 years now. We are not perfect but I think we are a good family as we observe the rules, respect the AP and have her well-being in mind. However, if I think about my own daughter being an AP, I am surprised to find that my first reaction would be 'NO.' I sort of look at that year as a waste of time because it would not teach my daughter any important skills to have a successful life. On the other hand, I like seeing the personal growth that our APs go through during the year with us. Being in a different country teaches them to be independent, brave, and more appreciative of what they have. It teaches them to stand up for themselves and generally get a better sense of self. Those are things that I wouldn't mind my daughter learning. [/quote]
