"Children raised during the 1960s-'70s had the benefit of free play and unsupervised exploration and the perfect backdrop for self-discovery. Kids today have almost every minute spoken for, organized, and overseen by an adult. Audrey Monke, a 30+ year camp director & mother of five is the perfect person to help parents not only understand what but how to bring the benefits of camp home and incorporate them into their daily lives. In the long run, our children value the experiences we have with them over things we buy them. Monke is the parenting expert we ALL need in our corner! I highly recommend this book and lean in any time she is giving advice which can make me a more engaged and connected mom."
