You've been looking forward to having your child home from sleepaway camp.

Then they walk through the door exhausted, disappear into their room, complain that there's nothing to do, or get annoyed the first time you remind them to put something away.

It's easy to wonder: Did they miss me? Are they happy to be home? Did camp change them in ways I don't like?

The transition from camp to home is bigger than it may appear. Your child is returning from a completely different world, and they may need time to figure out how the person they became at camp fits back into family life.

In this episode, I'm sharing three adjustments kids make after sleepaway camp and how you can give your child room to bring their growing confidence, competence, and independence home with them.

• Why a wonderful camp experience can still lead to irritability, withdrawal, or complaints when your child comes home
• How to handle the friction that can arise when newfound independence meets familiar family expectations
• The overlooked adjustment that can make returning to an old family role especially difficult
• What you can do if your child is already home and you're thinking, "I messed this up"
