Children can be a handful, and while our affection for them is unwavering, their antics can sometimes be overwhelming! You invest significantly in their overnight camp experience, eagerly anticipating daily mail updates about their adventures and expressions of longing for home. Yet, the reality often falls short, with letters that are less than enlightening, such as:
“Thanks for the update, Ethan! Very enlightening!” And you, too, Clara…
Camp offers kids a unique opportunity to discover aspects of themselves that may not surface at home—how wonderful! Even minor mishaps, such as a little nausea, won’t dampen their enthusiasm.
There’s a saying that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but this seems not to apply to sibling dynamics or even parental affection. Children often seize every chance to highlight their parents’ missteps. However, if you’ve nurtured their sense of humor, they will likely deliver their critiques with a smile—just as you should respond!
