Hay una gran diversidad de ellos y los hijos aprenden a compartir con otras personas que no son de su entorno, personas que no conocen. Aprenden a ser más tolerantes, a entender las diferencias entre unos y otros. Aprenden a seguir reglas y cumplir los horarios establecidos para cada actividad. Hoy los campamentos tienden a combinar el aprendizaje con la diversión, así el campistas disfruta de una enriquecedora experiencia de conocimientos e independencia sin duda inolvidable. Why to go to a summer camp? Each day summer camp options grow, so also families who enroll their children in camps. There are a wide variety of them and the children learn to share with others who are not of their environment, people who do not know. They learn to be more tolerant, to understand the differences between them. They learn to follow rules and meet established schedules for each activity. Today the camps tend to combine learning with fun and campers enjoys an enriching experience of knowledge and independence certainly memorable.

International College Counselors Expert Strategies For Admission
How to Help Your Child Deal with College Admissions Disappointment and Fear
1. Sentar las bases. Antes de que lleguen las cartas de aceptación, los padres deben decirle a sus hijos, lo orgullosos que están de él o ella.
1. Lay the groundwork. Before the acceptance letters come, parents need to let their child know how proud they are of him or her.
2. Ofrézcales apoyo. Para los estudiantes que son rechazados esta puede ser la primera vez que enfrentan una gran decepción. El trabajo de los padres es evitar que esto dañe su autoestima. 3. Hable sobre el tema. Si su hijo es rechazado, permita que ventile sus emociones. Hable de ello y conviértalo en un momento de aprendizaje. 4. La universidad es un paso en un largo camino. Pero la Universidad no es el destino final. Deje que su hijo sepa que el proceso de admisión a la universidad, está fuera de su control. 5. Una vez que tenga todos los resultados, llame o reúnase con un Consejero de “International College Counselor” No permita que su hijo tome la negación personalmente. 6. Recuérdele a su hijo agradecer a las personas que hicieron posible la aceptación a la universidad. 7. Celebre las cartas de aceptación. Su hijo se encuentra al final de un largo viaje.

2. Stay supportive. For students who get rejected, this may be the first time they’re dealing with major disappointment. A parent’s job is to stop this from damaging their selfesteem. 3. Talk it out. If your student is rejected from the first choice college, allow your child to vent their emotions. Talk about it and turn it into a teachable moment. 4. College is a step on a long road. It’s a big step, but college is not the final destination. Let your student know a lot of the college admission process was out of his or her control. 5. Once all the results are in, call or meet with your student’s International College Counselor advisor, as needed. Don’t let your child take denial personally. 6. Remind your student to thank the people around him that made a college acceptance possible. 7. Celebrate the college acceptance letters your child does get. Your sun are at the of a long journey.

Cómo ayudar a su hijo a manejar la admisión a la universidad, la decepción y el miedo
LANGUAGES - IDIOMAS
Inglés - English El aprendizaje del idioma inglés, como segunda lengua, es una experiencia de esfuerzo individual. Sin embargo, al encontrarse con elementos como la motivación, el rapport, el humor y la variedad, se convierte en un todo satisfactorio. Lográndose así, la fácil asimilación y fluidez del idioma, heredado de los británicos. Mi curiosidad por indagar en el mismo tema, me llevó a inscribirme en clases de inglés, para hablantes de otros idiomas, ESOL. Una vez en las clases, reconocí a la motivación como una carta de bienvenida. A través de ella nos aseguraban que todo esfuerzo es remunerado con éxito. Convenciéndonos de que esta sociedad nos guarda un puesto a cada uno de nosotros sin distinción. Y que el sueño americano, puede dejar de serlo, para convertirse en una realidad en nuestras vidas.
El humor encontró siempre su espacio, con el único propósito de hacer la experiencia divertida. La variedad de sus programas, el incentivo al pensamiento crítico, la enseñanza de estrategias para resolver distintos tipos de pruebas, fueron alicientes para regresar por más información. Además del Arte a través de la poesía, el teatro, la música, el canto, también apoyaron la teoría de escuchar primero, para luego expresarnos con elocuencia.
El inglés una experiencia de esfuerzo individual The English experience of individual effort Por Patricia Cohen
