They may feel that their friends will get together and have experiences and make memories without them. They also may worry that they will be somehow left behind or forgotten while they attend a California overnight camp. Kids and teens can also experience FOMO as part of a withdrawal from social media and screen time \u2013 because they won\u2019t be keeping up on the latest memes, texts, video games, etc while at a California overnight camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can You Help As a Parent?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents can help minimize FOMO by addressing it rationally, discussing it with kids,\u00a0 and taking some specific steps to mitigate their camper\u2019s fears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus on what will be gained when they attend a California overnight camp, rather than what will be missed.\u00a0 It\u2019s unlikely that all your kid\u2019s friends will be having identical, group experiences all summer long. Shift the focus of the discussion to all the things that your camper\u2019s friends will be doing individually over the summer. Then focus on what your camper is looking forward to doing individually, and with new friends. Discuss how they will share their experiences with their friends after, and how their friends may have exciting stories to share as well. Create anticipation for a future reunion and sharing of stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make plans with at-home friends before\/after overnight camp. Set up specific times that your camper will get together with at-home friends before and after camp. Create a plan for keeping in touch, via letter writing or by swapping \u201ctexts to a friend\u201d style notebooks to share at the end of the summer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalina Island Camps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your child\u2019s FOMO will disappear when they get to overnight camp at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catalinaislandcamps.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catalina Island Camps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
