I NEEDED to hear (read?) #4 this morning. My anxiety-diagnosed 5 year old is going to summer camp. This is our first year dealing with the realities of Small Child Summer, (daycare, what a blessing you were), and I am so nervous about how he will handle day camp. But I am also the first one to always say he needs exposure to new things to make him resilient and help with his anxiety. I CAN be there for him emotionally and listen to him and help prepare him, but he can also do hard things, like meet new friends and play and have fun in a whole new environment!
Excellent tips Melinda and I’m really enjoying reading your new book!

Yes, this is the perfect list for this season! Can we get one for the adults next? 😂
