My son (almost 10.5 years, in year five) is meant to be going on the school ski trip (abroad - Alps) over half term. He was enthusiastic at the prospect nine-odd months ago and now has seriously cold feet, tears at bedtime, etc.
It would be his first time away from home for more than 2 days - his school residential trip, which incidentally, was great.
He will be rooming with three boys from his year, all of whom either are or have been good friends, depending on the day.
I don't know what to do? On the one hand, it seems cruel to force him to go. On the other, he very enthusiastically agreed to go, we've paid, and (most importantly) I think he's going to be filled with regret if he doesn't go.
What would you do?
