Hi,
Last summer my son attended SuperCamp, a learning and life skills summer camp, and my wife and I attended SuperCamp's Parent Weekend, where parents of kids in the 10-day camp, learn a lot about communication skills. I'd recommend both SuperCamp and Parent Weekend - there's a program for kids 11-13 and one for kids 14-18. There's also a section at the website, www.SuperCamp.com, called Student and Parent Support, which includes a lot of tips on communicating with your tween and teen.
Yes! We are very familiar with SuperCamp, and we support their efforts. We have reprinted a few articles from their non-profit partner, Learning Forum International. For some tips and tricks from their organization, take a look at their articles:
