There are lots to do in summer than going out to work

Of course my children are still young, my oldest is 11 now but I can't help but want to tell you there are lots of things they can do instead of working at Waffle House everyday. Summer goes fast, spend time here and there in summer camps and it's over. And there are always 9 to 10 days spent at Grandpa's house in Ohio. Now it's already the end of July. There's only one month left! My daugter went to her favorite string camp in VT for two weeks, one of my sons, five years old, goes to daycare, the other, 8 years old, goes to a summer camp/daycare. Next year, I plan to let my daughter stay at this music camp for a longer time, at least for 3 weeks with one week in Istanbul Turkey. That should make the summer more memorable and enjoyable. Kids will get their share of work. There's no need to rush them.  Sometimes things would backfair if it's done overboard. Working odd jobs isn't always an encouraging thing for teens.  It might dampen their enthusiasm about working  because people could be mean and insensitive. It's better to save it for the future, to my opinion.

• 大小孩子情況差很多。 一般夏令營針對12 歲以下。孩子上中學後也不一定喜歡出去旅遊。我娃中學生假期無所事事，遊戲，看書 -weed123- ♀ (0 bytes) () 07/18/2023 postreply 15:41:39

• 你說的很對啊。可是她們是自己想要去工作的，連工作都是自己找的。我覺得怎樣都好，看孩子的選擇吧：） -樹枝兒- ♀ (0 bytes) () 07/18/2023 postreply 17:46:21
