adults. Some are lazy because their
parents do everything for them.

works in my department and when I visit his office,
there are books on the floor, on the chairs, and on his
desk! However, I am an only child too, but I am the
opposite. My office is very tidy.

between children and their birth order in families. This
helps us to be successful parents, support our children,
and be sensitive to all their needs.

Day 1 Arrive at the four-star Palm Hotel and meet the other
guests. People who choose this adventurous holiday usually
have similar backgrounds, but there are always surprises, too.

and show you the best way to do this. Your second task is to learn
how to catch fish and find food to eat. Then, Thomas will teach
you how to make a fire and cook food with stones, leaves, and
wood. The island has fresh water you can drink, so you should
bring a water bottle to fill with fresh water every day. You should
also bring a knife, fork, and spoon for cooking and eating.

opportunity to be innovative! Recycle things you find to make a

you’re on the island! You should read about how to make simple
boats with ‘rubbish’ before you come on this adventure.
Day 6 Thomas leaves the island and you are now on your own.
Use the skills you learned to survive for a day and help each other.
