An insightful and powerful look at the magic of summer camp—and why it is so important for children to be away from home . . . if only for a little while. In an age when it’s the rare child who walks to school on his own, the thought of sending your “little ones” off to sleep-away camp can be overwhelming—for you and for them. But parents’ first instinct—to shelter their offspring above all else—is actually depriving kids of the major developmental milestones that occur through letting them go—and watching them come back transformed. In Homesick and Happy, renowned child psychologist Michael Thompson, PhD, shares a strong argument for, and a vital guide to, this brief loosening of ties. A great champion of summer camp, he explains how camp ushers your children into a thrilling world offering an environment that most of us at home cannot: an electronics-free zone, a multigenerational community, meaningful daily rituals like group meals and cabin clean-up, and a place where time simply slows down. In the buggy woods, icy swims, campfire sing-alongs, and daring adventures, children have emotionally significant and character-building experiences; they often grow in ways that surprise even themselves; they make lifelong memories and cherished friends. Thompson shows how children who are away from their parents can be both homesick and happy, scared and successful, anxious and exuberant. When kids go to camp—for a week, a month, or the whole summer—they can experience some of the greatest maturation of their lives, and return more independent, strong, and healthy.

'Ik kan me de laatste keer dat ik zo hard om een boek gelachen heb niet herinneren', schreef David Sedaris nadat hij de verhalenbundel Heimwee naar een andere wereld van Ottessa Moshfegh had gelezen. Maar onder die humor zit een onheilspellende ondertoon waardoor je als lezer nooit precies weet wat er aan de hand is. De personages zijn altijd op een of andere manier onhandig; ze verlangen naar contact met anderen en proberen hun leven te beteren, ieder op hun eigen manier, maar worden vaak gehinderd door verkeerde prikkels en existentiële onzekerheden. Heimwee naar een andere wereld is een masterclass in de variaties van zelfbedrog via een breed scala aan personages die leven in onze huidige tijd. Moshfegh laat ons kennis maken met een onvergetelijke parade aan kleurrijke types, die nog lang een plek in de gedachten van de lezer blijven innemen. Maar het unieke aan haar vertelstem, de echte Moshfegh-ervaring, is de manier waarop ze het groteske en wanstaltige vervlecht met tederheid en compassie. Het vlees is zwak, het hout is krom, mensen zijn wreed tegen elkaar, stompzinnig en kwetsend. Maar soms openbaart schoonheid zich op vreemde plekken. En de duistere toon in deze verhalen is erg verfrissend. De lezer is in handen van een auteur met een groot intellect, die zich bedient van woedende uithalen en vlijmscherpe speldenprikken.

Admitting it may be hard when other people seem to be so happy and together, but you're feeling homesick. How feeble! You're not alone. A few of the smiling people you see are actually feeling homesick, also.
