b"A special kid's POV episode where Asher and I talk all about that rite of passage for millions of children around the world\\u2014sleep away camp. This summer, Asher is going to a sleep away camp for the second time in his life. The first time was two years ago, when he went to a very traditional outdoorsy camp with his best friend in the Pacific Northwest. All things considered, that experience went pretty well, and we learned a few things about what can be hard about camp and what kind of situations might be challenging for Asher (and for many differently-wired kids).\\nThis year, we\\u2019re going to give it another try, this time at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, something Asher is, shall we say, INCREDIBLY excited about. And at the same time, when we first signed him up, Asher recognized there would be situations at Space Camp that could potentially be especially tough for him. As you\\u2019ll hear, Asher came to me and asked to work with a therapist / coach to help him figure out strategies for navigating tricky situations that might come up.\\nSo, that\\u2019s what we\\u2019re going to talk about today\\u2026the different strategies we\\u2019ve used to help Asher get prepared for sleep away camp, as well as Asher\\u2019s own revelations about what he thinks will help him have a positive experience, even if and when things come up that push him mentally and emotionally.\\nDebbie Reber is the founder of Tilt and the host of the Tilt Parenting Podcast.
