Homesick-ness?
Question:
How do I convince her to stay, and to comfort her?
Thanx
Answers:
You don't. This is a decision she needs to make. If you "convince" her to go, and she is homesick, guess who catches all the blame? YOU. Just tell her you'd like her to come, you will be there with her...but leave the decision up to her.
Try to keep her busy the entire time and tell her that you're really glad she is there! If that doesn't work, call her a big baby! J/K
Going to Camp, or anywhere away from home for the first time can be scary. If you've been to the camp before, reassure her of the FUN that you all will have and be sure to get her involved in all the activities.. If she does well during the day but then suffers at night encourage her to write a letter or journal every night to her mom telling about all the exciting things she is doing or learning. If she meets new kids and stays busy, the time will pass quickly and before you know it you will all be going home and she will probably realize that she has had a WONDERFUL time and will want to return next time.
