[QUOTE="nvts, post: 283585, member: 3814"] Hi! Any chance you can take him there over the weekend to look at the place? That might help with the anxiety. Also, maybe start referring to it as "camp" could lighten the angst. Would you be able to make it fun getting ready like shopping for stuff for the "vacation" for him? Just going out and getting sunblock, a special towel, the sample size toothpaste, shampoo, etc. could make it feel more fun than "they want me gone for a while". Would he have the patience to help you bake cookies or something simple so that he can bring it with him to break the ice with the other kids? Being the new kid can really ratchet up the anxiety - chocolate chip cookies or brownies brought with him, made by him, would make him feel a little more in control of the situation. Just a few thoughts to make it easier FOR YOU! :winking: Beth [/QUOTE]
