Deal starts his first all day camp this week. He really wants to participate in the fun camp activities but is nervous about being there all day long. He’s always been my homebody. I’m not sure exactly what makes him so nervous other than his general timid, sweet nature. I try to be strong and uplifting and talk all singsongy about how FUN camp will be. Truth be told, after the horrific Jerry Sandusky news hit, I was reticent to send my sons to camp. I found my Mama Bear instincts getting all fiercely protective and wanted to wrap my boys into my arms and keep them in my sight. I know in my head that the camps we chose are fantastic and safe, but part of my heart waffles here. If it weren’t for the wisdom, rationale, and calm disposition of Mac Daddy, I just might have started homeschooling and keeping my kids under lock and key. In other words, I needed him to talk me off the ledge of paranoia and focus on the benefits of camp.
- What big questions to ask the camp or sports organization
- What skills to practice with kids – in a fun way! – so they can set boundaries and get help if they are uncomfortable with any other kid, counselor or coach
- What to do if you suspect or find out about abuse or something that might be leading to abuse
Where were these programs when I was a kid? Imagine the empowerment these kids must feel when they are taught to trust themselves.
