When you are getting worried about your child going to sleep-away camp for the first time, here's what you can do:
				Ask for a list of other families with campers in your area, and meet them ahead of time. Visit the camp and meet the director before camp starts Give your child a tape recorder and tapes to mail back and forth so you can hear each other's voices during the summer
					Remember: We all want to be better parents - but kids don't come with an instruction manual.

			If you've noticed that your daughter seems uncomfortable about her weight, here's what you can do:
				Encourage her to participate in sports she enjoys. Stay active, even exercise along with her. Dump the junk food and fill your fridge with healthy, tasty snacks Show admiration for women of many body shapes, not only the skinny ones in magazines.
