When you sleep somewhere else like at a summer camp or a friend’s house, you know you’re there for a fun time. But you may still feel unhappy. You start to miss your family, your friends and want to go back. It’s called being homesick(想家的). Do you want to feel less homesick? Here’s how:

Bring a bit of home with you. If you’re going away from home, bring your pillow(枕頭) or pictures of the people you will miss and look at them any time you want.

Keep busy. Make friends and join in activities. If you are busy in a new place, you will have less time to feel homesick. So try to find some interesting things to do and soon you might start to have a good time.

Keep in touch with your family and friends. You might choose a regular(定期的) day and time for phone calls. You can also write a letter! But make sure to tell them the fun things you are doing.

Ask your family or friends to visit you and act as their guide. Let them visit the place you live. You can also take a trip back home, but don’t go home every weekend.

Tell someone that you’re feeling homesick. This will help you feel better. Maybe you can tell a friend. Then the two of you can do some interesting things together, such as telling jokes. If you’re at camp, you can also tell your camp teacher. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.

Make a list. Each kid wants different kinds of parties. Write down all your kid’s ideas on a piece of paper and then get things ready according to the list.

Make invitations. Make sure you won't have the party at the same time as your child's soccer game. Make sure you write down the name of each guest. So you will know the number of things you have to prepare such as chairs and plates.

Buy something. If you go to a party store, they will have everything you need and you won't have to go to different stores to get everything ready.

You need to decide whether to buy a cake or make one. Decide what kind of food to have. Make sure to get the food ready on time.

You could have some drinks such as coke and juice. Having a small bottle of cold water is a good idea too, especially during hot weather.
