[blindkid] Youth activities at nat. convention?

[kbugsmum at aol.com]

Thank you so much for that. I really appreciated reading your post and it made me feel so much better. I am so looking forward to my husband and I both learning from the adult seminars but was really not looking forward to leaving my daughter. You really helped ease my fears, somewhat anyway! Thanks again.

Lisa,
You will not be the only one a little worried about leaving your child in
the activities, especially since you have probably not met many of the other
families involved. Please know that, for most if not all sessions, there
will be numerous adult volunteers - other parents, mostly -  present to help
your child have a safe and fun experience. In past years, some simple ground
rules, like children cannot leave in the middle of an activity, have served
to keep me feeling fine about leaving my daughter. (When yours is 13, like
mine, she will REALLY not want you hanging around!) Your daughter will have
a great time!
Pat
