Dear Matzav,

As a professional in the field for over two decades, i rejoice that open communication with our children all year ’round especially before camp  is now the new norm at least to some extent.

This includes awareness of who your child’s friends are, technology usage, opening up healthy lines of communication, listening to our children and playing an active role in their development etc.
