Hello,
I was wondering if any parent has experienced the same - my 6 year old daughter does not want to go to summer camp this year. We sent her the last year for 2 weeks (from 10am until 3pm) and chose some where her friends also went. I am now unsure if she knows what it means to be 6 weeks at home and if I should just accept it.
She is a happy child, has friends but hates school since she is in Year 1 as she says they "only do boring stuff now" and she misses her family. She is going through a clingy phase- she wants her friends to come to her, feels better when me or my husband are around likes to be at home. My gut feeling tells me this is what she needs right now but then I think- should I push her so she can outgrow this feeling? Or is this a phase she will outgrow herself if I just give her time? Has anyone experienced this?
