We have committed to taking the plunge by sending DD on a 3 week residential class. This will be her first (other than sleepovers) time away from family.
Understandably, DW is getting a bit freaked out about this. For myself, I was sent to boarding school at 7 due to not having a mother so I am not that worried because I think that she will be just fine.
Did any of you send your children away this young? What challenges did they experience? Also, how did they find the CTYclasses in particular and what strategies did you use to 'harden them off', to use the gardening term, prior to sending them on their way?
All help and advice is appreciated...
