[QUOTE="MKalcolm M, post: 811785, member: 25205"] I asked my 12 year old daughter if she wanted to walk the Camino Portuguese with me, and having thought about it she said yes. We went to the local woods, and spent a full day walking 17km/12 miles, and I explained she had to do at least this and probably more every day for 12 days and to understand the cumulative tiredness of doing this every day. She thought about it again, and still wanted to come. We had a great walk, and since then have walked another three caminos. Several tips I learned from walking with her. 1) involve her in all planning and all decisions, then she feels included and takes responsibility for herself and her emotions 2) Give her freedom to make friends and walk with others along the way, the camraderie is great for encouragement and learning 3) Stop and rest when you are tired, and keep chocolate as motivation for getting up the next hill 4) albergues are fine, just sleep in a bed near by, so you are always available should anything come up. (Nothing ever did) 5) Chat when you both want to, walk quietly when you both want to, share your thoughts, moods and emotions. 6) I learned more from walking with her, than she did from walking with me. We are planning camino Number 5 to fit around her exams. [/QUOTE]
