Campression: Every kid gets it.<\/h3>\nCampression: Every kid gets it.<\/h3>\nAfter a few weeks away, your child is finally home from overnight camp! While your child\u00a0is excited to see you again, returning to life at home can be difficult. After all, they were accustomed to the bubble of camp, a strong community where each minute is spent with close friends and counselors. Here are a few tips to help your child\u00a0cope with “campression” and\u00a0transition\u00a0back into life at home.<\/p>\n
With a few weeks left in summer, many parents overbook this time with activities for their child. Allow your child some time just to relax. Camp is busy with activities from early morning into\u00a0the evening hours. Your child may just want to veg out for a bit. Give her that time.<\/p>\n
Obviously you want to know EVERY detail about camp, but try not to fire off a million questions about\u00a0the experience. Camp is your child\u2019s special place. Let your child share the details that she wants to.<\/p>\n
Believe it or not, your child survived at camp without you reminding her\u00a0to shower, brush\u00a0her teeth, and\u00a0clean\u00a0up after herself. One of the greatest parts\u00a0of\u00a0camp is the independence children gain. Let your child practice some of her new found independence at home\u2014you\u2019ll be amazed\u00a0at all she can do without your help!<\/p>\n
There is no doubt your child will be missing her camp friends once she’s home. Put a date on the calendar with her friends and remember to include EVERYONE from the bunk. Leaving a child or two out can be very hurtful, and that child is bound to find out about the get-together. Always be mindful of the post-camp cabin dynamics.<\/p>\n
Camp is\u00a0truly\u00a0one of the last technology free environments. Your child survived, and thrived, without constant texting, social media, and Fortnite\u00a0for weeks at a time. Surely, your child will be excited to have her iPhone back, but remind her\u00a0how\u00a0nice it was at camp just to read a book\u00a0and get lost in thoughts.<\/p>\n
With your child home and school beginning soon, make sure to plan some family time.\u00a0 Even though your kid is sad that camp is over, she\u00a0also missed being with you, so enjoy some time\u00a0together as summer winds down.<\/p>\n
