At 7am on a Wednesday I drop my child off for a two-night school camp. The first big school camp. Children carry their pillows under their arms and drag behind them suitcases whose wheels and weight they can barely manage. They\u2019re nervous. Excited. Some cry. By 7.45am they have loaded their bags. Through the coach\u2019s tinted windows I can see that my daughter has settled in next to her friend so I wave goodbye and head to work.<\/p>\n

There are 10 pictures of the class packed on a ferry and arriving at camp in a post on the app. I feel relief. I had been anxious about the bus arriving safely \u2013 even though I knew it to be irrational \u2013 and it is comforting to see my child buffeted by friends, smiling at the camera.<\/p>\n
