The significance of traveling with children

1, travel gives children the opportunity to explore the world.

Although children probably don't remember where they have been, it doesn't affect TA people to learn to see the world from different angles through what they have seen and heard during their travels.

Every trip in our family can make our daughter have countless questions. On the way, she always looks around. To her, every landscape is like a new continent. Purple flowers, fishermen on the boat and ducks in the pond can all interest her. She kept asking, so we talked slowly, and unconsciously she accumulated some life experience. Sometimes when we fly together, she will look out the window carefully. Just studying the white clouds outside the window is enough to make her forget me. At this time, we will take out the paper and pen we carry with us and let her draw what she sees.

Gradually, I felt the change of my daughter. Take her fear of water as an example. After several trips to the water's edge, now Laddie can swim freely on the shore because there are many waterways. When she returned to China to take her to the boat in Jiangnan, her daughter suddenly counted it with her fingers. I felt strange and asked her what she was doing. It turned out that she was counting the means of transportation she had taken. After listening to her whispers, I realized that she already knew so many modes of transportation.

Every time she comes back to her apartment after playing, the little guy will excitedly describe what she saw and played that day, and she will use many new words, such as "beautiful flowers" and "downpour", and even speak with gestures to make me understand better.

▋2. Cultivate children's adaptability in travel.

Travel is a good opportunity to teach children to adapt. Sometimes on the way, the little guy's work and rest will be disrupted by unexpected situations, but she can always adapt quickly. Gradually, even the problem of recognizing the bed before has improved a lot. No matter where she is, she can fall asleep quickly without any problems such as travel fatigue or jet lag adjustment.

In addition to adaptation, we must learn to cooperate. One summer, we took our children to see the seven waterfalls in Quancheng. On the way to the waterfall, there are many steps, which is really a small challenge for her, but adults have a lot to go, so it is not easy to hold this little guy again. Finally, encouraged by a lollipop, the daughter bravely stepped forward and climbed the steps with her hands and feet.

▋3. Cultivate children's sense of participation in travel.

Some parents are used to doing everything by themselves, from making travel routes to packing before departure, without disturbing their children. However, I am used to assigning some "jobs" to my children every time I travel, such as carrying my own backpack and dragging a small suitcase when I am stronger. Even if I only have a little luggage, I will encourage her to learn to pack it herself. Children's participation is higher, and their expectations and gains for travel will be greater.

When it's time to leave, I will pull my daughter to spread out the map to find the geographical location, or turn the globe with her to find the specific location. After finding the destination, let her mark it with colored pencils, share the scenery on the postcard with her, and let the child know roughly where she is going.

Once, I planned to take my daughter to the aquarium. In order to fully arouse the children's enthusiasm, I first showed her the cartoon Finding Nemo. Sure enough, when she saw the cute little fish Nemo in the film, she was very excited and said she liked it. In this way, I also saved myself from dealing with the "tragedy" that my children are not interested in going home during the trip.

Travel is the best companion for parents to their children.

On weekdays, my husband and I are office workers. Even on weekends, we crave rest and just want to stay at home. After all, adults have their own things to deal with. However, the happy memories created by taking time to travel with children are enormous. Only at this time, we don't have to care about the trivial things around us, but leave all our time to our families instead of letting TV play the nanny for our children.

Recall the days I spent with my daughter: enjoying delicious breakfast, reading story books, building sand at the seaside and catching fireflies ... Seeing my daughter happy, my heart suddenly relaxed. Because of this, we don't have a complete trip, but walk slowly, empty our heads and experience the present.

During the trip, parents must pay more attention to their children than at home, especially fathers who have less contact with their children. Once we started with a tour group, and the road was very bumpy. Usually, the nervous father noticed that his daughter was a little scared, so he held her in his chest to calm her mood, and her daughter fell asleep in his arms.

Every time we return to the hotel after the game, we will point to our chest and say "I love you", and our daughter will naturally answer "I love you too". Then we will go to bed and watch, and the fatigue of the journey will be swept away immediately. This mutual "care" with our daughter is the meaning of travel for us.
