Comment on Helping Kids Feel Less Homesick at Summer Camp by Jan Littlehales

Hi Tash,
Thank you so much for leaving your comment. I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling anxious about the well-being of your parents.
Perhaps you should let the camp organisers know how you’re feeling? Maybe they’d allow you a quick phone call to reassure you, or they may be able to make a phone call on your behalf?
Feeling anxious when you’re away from your parents is not unusual – and your parents may be feeling anxious because you’re away from them too. Try and think positively and enjoy the camp – and look forward to arriving home in two weeks time and telling your parents all about the exciting things you have done.
I’d also love to hear about your camp activities, so feel free to leave another comment.
Jan

well for me its not mostly homesickness but we are going on this camp for 2 weeks and I just keep worrying what if something bad happens to my parents and like what if I never see them again. We have no way to contact our parents and I have no idea how to get over this problem.

Thank you Susan,
I agree it’s very important for parents to read to their kids – and to let kids read to their parents.
My boys are no longer kids, but I still love to see them reading – and almost every birthday and Christmas there’s a book or two on their ‘wish list’. I like that

I like your blog. It is very important for parents to read to their kids and to teach them how to read and enjoy books. Susan Waterfield

Thanks Murray River Guide,
Camping with young children is a lot of fun and great preparation for any summer camps they might go on when a bit older.
