Happy camper
I'm filling in summer camp forms for the children. I want them to take Mabel as well as her brother, so I'm just going to leave some sections of hers blank, I think.
You can figure out for yourselves which parts of this I'm not really submitting.
- Child's likes and dislikes: Likes: active play, imaginary play. Dislikes: You, probably.
- Enjoys these physical activities: Climbing (trees, onto the top of the car), bike riding (barefoot), balancing precariously and swinging upside down over concrete surfaces.
- My child has difficulty with these activities: Cleaning up, being polite to authority figures.
- Things my child might need help with: Drying/dressing after swimming.
- Fears and concerns of the participant: That you might not operate entirely according to her wishes.
- Specific behavioural concerns: That she might be horrible to everyone.
- Triggers of the specific behavioural concerns: Crossing her in any way, thwarting her will, etc.
- What behavioural techniques have been successful that can be maintained during the program? Flagrant bribery with new dolls, Barbies, trips to Target, ice cream.
Right?
(And I'll get two weeks of six blessed hours' peace Every Day.)

Ahahaha- I tell you, the: Specific behavioural concerns: That she might be horrible to everyone.
I have that everyday with Anna.
She doesn't like new people and just screams at them 'noooooo', if they look at her.
Good LucK!
Love it! I am going to send my oldest two to some adventure thing. Not too sure about the actual stuff they will be doing just yet, but again, a morning's peace every day for 5 days. What I am going to do with the 4 and 2.5 year old I have no idea.
LOL! Love it - Alice @ Mums Make Lists
Bribery yep, seems to be a common thing.
Fab, that made me smile - but I do love it when girls have strong wills, it'll stand to her :)
Thanks! Yes, Mabel has the lovely habit at the moment of blowing a raspberry at people who try to be nice to her. Sigh.
I know it will, and she does have a will of iron. It's just a little more challenging to parent. :)
Sandpit? Paddling pool? Peppa Pig on repeat? Plenty of options... good luck with yours!
I'm trying to figure out how to make it work for us to stay through July, because I would love to see Mabel and Ramona in camp together - they would be thick as thieves or mortal enemies . . .
It's not the one D did last year, though; they don't take them till 5, and Mabel's still 4 this summer. They're both doing local camps this year.
