My DD does not want to go on a 5 day school camping trip mostly because of embarassing and uncomfortable health issues. I don't think forcing her, with the possibility of having a negative experience, is a good idea.
Presumably because of pandemic delays this is a trip that involves the whole of year 5 and 6. Anyone who does not attend has to spend the week with year 4.
DD is now terrified of being teased for not attending and anxious about the mortifying?? experience of spending the week with year 4. You can't win.
I would love DD to go but I think forcing a child is wrong. I think the five day is very long for any child tbh - my older son had a three day trip.
If the tables were turned and this was an adult, they would have a choice to say no, and imho many with health problems would.
What should I do? Any advice on how to handle this?
