Before you decide you are going to send yur child on a summer adventure you need to be sure that your child is ready for this. Be realistic about your teens personality and readiness. Here are 5 things to ask yourself:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_WLGdbj36U
* Does your teen want to go on this type of trip? If your teen is unsure, you may want to look for another activity. These trips are expensive and demanding. Though your teen may be apprehensive, you want to hear that she is looking forward to the challenge and is interested. You must find a trip that matches your child's personality and interest.
* Flexibility! It is important that your child easily takes what comes their way. Life on one of these trip is not going to be like back home. If your child finds travel and change difficult or takes a long time to adjust to new situations and people, then a tour may be difficult and less enjoyable. Should yur child be shy its best to discuss your child's personality with the tour directors.
* Can your child meet the physical demands of the trip? Here you just need to be realistic. If the trip includes a lot of hiking, biking, mountain climbing or camping, your teen must be willing, eager, and in good enough shape to participate. If your child gets motion sickness easily, consider trips which involve long bus rides carefully.
* Does your teen have the maturity and responsibility to handle their independence ? Does your teen make mature decisions? How do they do with peer pressure? Often, teen programs give more freedom than at home. You need to know how your child will react to this kind of freedom.
* Is your teen organized? Your teen will need to be be responsible for their stuff. They will ber packing and unpacking their belongings at several locations.
