Help!

NAS82900

I was wonder if anyone could help me understand, My ten year old hates surprises, he had a meltdown over not knowing the details of a walk, I said I might take them on (didn’t want to tell details incase, I couldnt manage to take them) 

This lead to major distress, can anyone here help me understand from his point of view? 

New here, and on this journey too.

  • For me not knowing is scary in itself, forgetting everything else.

    I'd rather know where, when and how long, so I could make myself mentally ready, and decide if I'm able to do it. As it was mentioned proper clothing shoes, extra food if it takes longer, a drink, possibility of using toilet, and where would that be. E.g. my friends like to spent time on a beach but I keep refusing invitations there because of lack of toilet.

    I would be OK if it didn't happen but I'd rather plan for something that won't happen than go in blind.
