sleep away camps, sports camps, day camps, whatever it is you and your child decide on. Put them in something! You do not need to be with your child every second of their life, and sadly, they do not need you every second. When they are old enough, let them free. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IF YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO SLEEP AWAY FROM HOME. It is a big debate and some of the greatest people I know were not allowed to go to sleepovers until they were 18. But something... YOU will need a break just as much as them and it will be a great experience.
On the camping topic, if your child is going to sleep away camp, make sure they are ready! Practice can't hurt, bust out the tent in the backyard and have a family camp out. Let them know the rules and the risks, but make sure you remind them about how much fun it can be.
