The child does not want to go to the camp. What to do?

The most common situation: your child was happy to wait for his first trip to the camp, but suddenly almost before his departure states that he does not want to go. How to be? After all, the platitude of the situation does not mean that parents already have experience of behavior in such cases.

  Run ahead

We will analyze the most difficult variant: your kid finished the first class (it is from this age that psychologists recommend starting to send children to the camp). The child was encouraged by the upcoming trip, but now flatly refuses it.

This situation can be prevented. This means that the decision to send a child to the camp you do not take spontaneously at the last moment, but plan long before the purchase of a voucher. This time will be enough to understand if your child is ready for an independent journey.

Readiness of the baby is determined by the most honest and objective testing of two questions that parents should ask first of all to themselves. First, how independent is the child? And secondly, is he ready to find himself in a new company, different from his classmates and comrades in the yard, that is, & ndash; Does she want new acquaintances and communication?

If the answer to the second question is negative (afraid, shy, excessively embarrassed by new people and more comfortable with yourself), it is better to leave the child at home so as not to expose   unfettered psyche of the child to severe tests on durability. If necessary, you can consult with a psychologist on this issue. Perhaps it's about the individual characteristics of the child's psyche.

No less important is the truthful answer to the first question. Although, we warn you, it can be   extremely painful for parental pride. After all, what is the independence of the baby? These are basic household skills: brush your teeth, wash, wash your socks, change your underwear, put things together, and clean up. If the kid does not know how to do this without help, it is better to put off the trip to the camp for a year to teach the everyday wisdom. Otherwise, the child may be in trouble, including in the form of ridicule and mockery of peers.

  If both answers are positive, prepare for the trip!

  Secure the result

  What does this mean? To support the child's attitude, and at the same time to prevent a situation when the child suddenly says: "I will not go!" & Raquo; parents need to take a number of actions, namely:

  choose together with the child to which camp he will go (most modern camps now have their own sites) & ndash; let the kid think that this is his own decision;

  incidentally, sharing with your child your own experiences and personal experience of staying in the camp (of course, no negative - just funny stories and unobtrusive advice);

-   ask the child to bring something from the camp for memory (crafts, photos) & ndash; it will distract him from sad thoughts before leaving and discipline in the camp, because the kid will think how to fulfill the request;

  -   turn the fees and departure of the child into a holiday: buy new things, a long-awaited toy, some thing that can be useful to him in the camp , and, of course, in every way to emphasize that the baby is waiting for a lot of interesting events;

  -   and most importantly: do not show your worries, fears & fears & ndash; they are passed on to the child. When saying goodbye, do not shed tears , and encourage the baby, for example: "Well, you're already quite grown up. Ahead you have almost a whole month of independent life. You'll see, it will be fun. Come & ndash; Tell me. We are waiting for you! & Raquo;. & Nbsp;
