How can you help a child who dislikes field trips? While many homeschooled kids don't pay much attention to the ages of their homeschooled friends, some do reach a point where they don't want to look out of place. Your child is the oldest or youngest on the field trip, and there's a mismatch between her age and the age of the other kids - or the field trip itself is "too young" or "too old" for the child.The child is introverted and being around so many people wears him or her out.Some kids are especially sensitive to feeling unsure if they will get to eat when they feel hungry or find a bathroom at the right time. The child does not trust the field trip logistics.Many active children are exhausted by the effort to obey "do not touch" rules, and while it is important for them to learn self-control over time, sometimes the challenge overfaces them if there are no opportunities to feel, make, or do for long stretches. The field trip doesn't feature anything hands-on.While the moms and the calmer, slower-paced kids are contentedly standing around to hear all the questions and answers about how tobacco made Virginia, the gotta-keep-moving kid wants to see around the next corner. The pace of the field trip is too slow.A kid can feel trapped by the need to listen far past his interest or ability to focus. What is it that makes some kids dislike homeschool field trips?
