HOW I LET GO OF BEING A HELICOPTER PARENT By Makenzie Collie
I never realized I was a helicopter parent until I decided to send my seven year-old daughter to camp.
Being a Girl Scout sta� member, I always thought I was cool with camp. These parents who refuse to let their daughters go to camp – I just don’t get it, I would think to myself smugly.
We signed our daughter up for a week in June. “Don’t worry, honey,” I told her. “If you are homesick, they will call me and I can come and pick you up.”
In May, we received our “handbook” and packing list. One tip was, “If your daughter is worried about being homesick, don’t tell her you’ll come and pick her up. Focus on what a great time she is going to have and what great friends she’ll make.”
“Don’t worry, honey. You will have a great time and you are going to make lots of great friends,” I started amending, with a seed of panic in my heart.
The day fi nally came to drop Rowan o�
at camp. Upon arrival at camp Rowan suddenly looked much tinier and more vulnerable than she had in the car 15 minutes earlier.
When it came time for me to leave, the counselor must have seen the look of panic on my face and the tears welling up in my daughter’s eyes. “Rowan, I really need a helper and you look like you could be a big help” she cooed, taking Rowan’s hand and marching into the cabin.
I sprinted to the car. If I looked back, all was lost.
I’m not a helicopter parent but that week I arranged to work close to the camp, just to be nearby in case, you know, my little baby missed me and needed me to fl y to her rescue.
The following day, I discovered camp posted pictures during the week. The fi rst picture I saw was the opening night’s campfi re, and I found my daughter’s face looking emotionlessly into the campfi re. “Oh man, that’s it,” I said to myself, hyperventilating. I braced
myself for the phone calls.
No phone calls came the entire week. Although I scoured the website for pictures, I didn’t see her in any of them for the rest of the week – it was almost as though the counselors were actively engaging in camp activities with the girls instead of taking 500 photos of each girl for their non-helicopter parents to examine nervously on their website.
Friday morning came and I was the fi rst one at the camp to pick up my daughter. I arrived about 45 minutes early and waited in my car until the appointed time. Then I parked and jogged over to the cabin, ready to see my little baby who had doubtlessly been crying and missing me all week long.
She caught sight of me – “Ugh mom, you’re here already,” she asked impatiently. “But I want to hang out a little while longer!”
Rowan regaled me with stories, songs, and happy tales all the way home from camp.
The report sent home talked about Rowan’s leadership skills, her willingness to pitch in and help clean up without being asked, and how she counselled friends who were feeling homesick.
This year we’re sending Rowan back for a couple of sessions at camp. I know I will miss her, but hopefully, I have learned from my helicoptering ways and this year I will only scour the photo pages six times a day, instead of six times an hour. Baby steps!
songs, and happy tales all the way

EDUCATOR CORNER MEET MR. JAMAL ARBERRY,
VETERAN AND INSTRUCTOR AT PRIMAVERA
Mr. Jamal Arberry is an English instructor at Primavera Online High
School who enjoys reading, cooking and volunteering at the Phoenix Zoo in his spare time.
Before helping students, Mr. Arberry was an active military member who served overseas.
Right after high school, Mr. Arberry went to North Carolina to join the Marine Corps. Although at fi rst he joined so he could escape his small hometown, Mr. Arberry said that being a part of the military became something he was proud to have accomplished.
“The Marine Corps gave me the opportunity to acquire skills that benefi tted me beyond what I did while I served,” said Mr. Arberry.
Mr. Arberry told us about a time when he was stationed in Zimboanga City, Japan in 2005. There, he made lasting friendships with the residents.
“I was attached with a Marine Security Element in which the mission was part of Operation Enduring Freedom- Philippines.
Many people might not know that there are jihadist terrorist down in those parts.
One night, we were invited to an event in which the people of Zamboanga City wanted to show their appreciation for us, the U.S. military. We had the opportunity to mingle with the locals and we got to watch some native dances. A lot of the kids became particularly fascinated with me when they found out I was Filipino, so they wanted to take pictures with me.”
That event became a moment Mr. Arberry now treasures as he made lasting friendships with the people there.
“It was a really good time, especially for me,” Mr. Arberry said. “Because I was able to enjoy tons of food I was familiar with, like Filipino rice cakes and roasted pig on the spit.”
Upon his return to the United States, Mr. Arberry decided to become a teacher. He has since helped many students succeed, and believes in pushing them to be their best selves, as he told us in this story below.
“I had a student who told me she wanted to know what she can do to just pass her course, what she can do to get a D. I told her I will not accept that and she will have to strive higher than a D. I told her in order for me to help her she must be willing to put that e� ort into striving better than just a D. At the end of her course, she fi nished with a B+.”
When it comes to challenging yourself, there is one important thing Mr. Arberry wants you students to remember: Don’t be afraid to fail.
“There are those who hold back on doing things because they are afraid of what the result may be. There are those who are afraid because if they fail, they are worried of what others will say to them. Don’t let that bother you. It is okay to be selfi sh sometimes through life’s journey because as you start refl ecting back on your life as you get older you want to be able to say, “Yeah, I did that,” and
not “Gosh, I wish I would’ve done that.” As you continue through your life’s journey go and do good, make mistakes, make a fool of yourself every now and then, go and own opportunity and take all these experiences and become the great person you know you can be.”
We hope you all have a great Independence Day. As you celebrate this weekend, don’t forget to take some time to remember the people like Mr. Arberry who make this country’s freedom possible.

COVER STORY MOMMY AND ME CRAFT TIME
Are you stuck pulling your hair out because it’s summertime and all you hear is “Mom, I’m
bored!”, even though your children have all their toys out? Better yet, are you desperately looking for a way to rip that iPhone or iPad out of your child’s hands and get them to do ANYTHING else?
A popular craft The Hippie Hobby sponsors for a ‘Mommy and Me’ night is an aromatherapy or di� user necklace.
BENEFITS OF ARTS AND CRAFTS FOR CHILDREN:
1 CREATIVE EMOTIONAL OUTLET Allowing your child a creative emotional outlet, specifi cally through arts
and crafts provides them a safe place to express their emotions in a positive way. For example, referencing the di� user necklace, giving your child a choice to
pick the color of beads, felt and even the charms allows for total creativity within the project. Letting them choose where on the necklace to put these charms is even more imaginative. Heck, if they want to turn the necklace into a bracelet instead –let them! This is all about allowing your child to creatively think and feel accomplished.
The positive feelings that your child will feel after accomplishing their craft project forms a correlation, that during stressful situations in life, crafting can be an outlet to that stress (better than a tantrum, right?).
2 FORMING A BOND BETWEEN CHILDREN AND PARENTS Sitting down with your child and crafting
with them (instead of sitting them down to do arts and crafts) creates a positive bond between you and your children. Your children can play together, talk about di� erent ways they would do the project, while you, as the parent, can be there to praise their creativity and teach them throughout the process. The aromatherapy or di� user necklace has so many valuable lessons children can learn. Taking the opportunity to teach them about di� erent essential oils they can use on their piece of felt and allowing them to switch it often is empowering and allows them to get in touch with their feelings, and fi gure out ways to cope and deal with them respectively. Asking them, “What’s your favorite oil? How would you use that? What happens when you smell that essential oil?” are all ways to learn together and create a positive bond along the way.
3 FINE MOTOR SKILLS AND DEXTERITY IMPROVEMENT Picking up small beads, opening
jump rings, attaching jump rings to a chain and picking up the smaller charms all help develop fi ne motor skills and improve dexterity. Having kids use their little fi ngers and enabling them to develop their motor skills is a fun process for parents to watch.
Many of you are a month into summer already! The Hippie Hobby is an every other month craft subscription box. All of their craft boxes are suitable for ‘Mommy and Me’ crafternoons. Their next box ships on July 15th, perfect for month two of your summer! Visit www.thehippiehobby.com to order by July 11th. To order a di� user necklace kit for your child and you to put together, simply email [email protected] and they will take your order via email and PayPal. This mini kit is FREE as an introduction to their subscription box. They just ask you pay a small fee of $7.99 for shipping and handling. Don’t be shy, Craft On and remember, #Craft Happens!
“It was fun and creative, I had a lot of fun with the activities and liked that I got to spend the time with my mom doing it.”
- Natalie, entering fi fth grade
“I love doing crafts with my daughter, but my schedule is so crazy. It’s hard to fi nd time to get it all together. I love the Hippie Hobby craft
boxes ... They’re fun, the instructions are easy to follow and
everything we need is in the box!”
- Dawn, Natalie’s mom
