Be sure to discuss each day’s schedule including all transportation plans so that parent’s won’t worry if “safe home” message is not received when expected. Another thing, If you have a change of plans, or if you are not going to return home when you said you would, call and reassure your children. They tend to worry when things don’t go according to plan, and a lack of information can cause them to panic. Consider that no matter how mature your child acts, he or she is still a child. Children invariably make mistakes; they don’t always react in a situation as you wish they would. And, even if they start off well without adult supervision, they can get “spooked” and develop real fears about being all alone at home. Encourage, support and reinforce your kids well and treat their mistakes as a learning tool towards achieving upright one. Proper care and guidance makes it all for young ones to be confident and self-reliant.
