The dreaded residential trip!

[lollipoprainbow]

Dd has the year 6 residential trip coming up. It's three days and two nights away. It's to an activity centre in the new forest and I know she will hate it. Plus being away from home and friendship issues in the class. I'm not sending her, seems like she is the only one not going. She's upset today as everyone is the class is talking excitedly about it and she feels so left out but I know she will feel so miserable if she goes. Have I done the right thing?

Only you will know. But maybe let her go and if she hates it the school can ring you up
to pick her up. Or can you stay in a cheap hotel close maybe she can sleep with you overnight and just enjoy daytime activities (back up option)

personally I’d let her go with the understanding she’s given it a go she might love or hate it but at least she has been given the option
