Children's summer camps are the best way for a child to relax during the summer holidays. The main thing is that there should be no hysterics and requests "Mom, take me away from here."

But while waiting for the right age, parents can “keep” their child too long and send him to camp when he is no longer interested there.

There is little general concept here - to be independent. In addition to the fact that a son or daughter has learned to brush their teeth, wash, comb their hair, etc., there are other signs.

The main thing is sociability. As for age, it is better to approach this issue individually.

How to understand that a child can be sent to camp

1. Don't look at age, the main thing is that the child is psychologically mature. He should want to break away from his parents and live without their control for 2-3 weeks.

2. Be prepared to tear your child away from you, because worries and anxiety are contagious, i.e. they can be passed on to children, causing them to cancel their trip at the very last moment.

3. If the child does not want to go, then there is no point in proving what a great vacation and cuisine there are and that if you had the opportunity you would definitely go.

Therefore, you should not buy a ticket without taking into account the interests of the student.

Parents' mistakes

At a minimum, you need to estimate the distance to the vacation spot, study reviews, and clarify the program of stay.

You can even go to the place or visit the website and see everything with your own eyes.

Having sent your children on vacation, do not bother them with your phone calls. If the child does not call, it means he liked it.

Earlier we talked about why parents shouldn’t have favorites in the family.
